Just a quick note to acknowledge the encouraging and productive visits of Asbury United Methodist Church from Tulsa, Blacksmith Big John from Hope Pres in Memphis, the ACWR team from the University of Illinois, the Underwood family from Houston . . .
The walls of the second story of Kelly's house and team housing have flown up!! And her new tree of Life and woman at the well gates are well on their way to completion due to some major volunteer welding man-hours...May God use them to testify to and bless all who pass by or through them.
During the Asbury week, painting work started by the Iowa group in February at a future migrant shelter continued. At weeks end, the mayor and some of his staff stopped by to show their appreciation.
Instituto Isaias 55: Things are plugging away at the school. The students participated in a special eduction month march this past Friday and signed a song as part of the post-march event. We're grateful that sponsorships have been trickling in...Please let us know if you have interest in monetarily sponsoring one of our classes.
N E X T for us . . .
On Wednesday April 1, a small ACWR group arrives to accompany us south on a medical trip to several locations in the state of San Luis Potosi. We are excited to travel to the more tropical & mountainous area to hand out thousands of supplies and medical kits that were donated. AND, of course, to address some specific physical needs via doctor consults & a mobile pharmacy. We're thankful that Mexican pastors Erwin Lopez and Moises Mendoza plan to accompany us.
We covet your continued prayers.
OH! ALSO, we were super excited that the initial blueprint for the dorm facility to be built on our new land arrived from the architect last week!!! As we have opportunity, we will probably tweek the design and Lord willing, construction will begin with summer teams. WOOOO-HOOO. God is so faithful.
God's rich blessings to you this Easter!
