7 Walls Up

 

I am in Mexico as part of a 40 person team made up from churches from Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, and South Carolina. We have converged in Mexico to build a house for Edward, Jackie, and their two children. Edward and Jackie are both in ministry with Edward leading the church and Jackie focusing on children’s ministry. All four of them are currently sleeping in a single room at Jackie’s’ parent’s house. 

Today we stood up the four walls of their three bedroom house. It isn’t a large house but they are extremely grateful. 

Along with their house a church is being built and three of the four walls of the church were stood up today. There is still plenty of work to do as roofs are still needed as well as insulation and sheet rock. 

Tonight I pray for Edward and Jackie and the ministry in which they are about to embark. May God bless their ministry and journey. May His word spread with each day in the neighborhood in Nueve Laredo. May god protect them and their children as the walk forward in faith. 

I also think the Lord for the hard work and the safety he provided for the team. Amen. 

Good night as the sun begins to set in Nueve Laredo.
