An opportunity for you...

This week we started work on a community center building for the village. We're very, very excited about this since the building will be used for social meetings, a small business center, a school, and our church! The cost of the construction of the building is completely funded by a Food for the Poor donor!

The building is approximately  50' x 28' with 8' walls. It is concrete block with a cement floor and a steel roof, and 7 large double windows, two bathrooms, running water and electricity. It will be divided into 2 parts; one part will be secured to house our business center, sewing machines & materials, and the other will be open for use as a social center, school, and church! 

One of the things the builder suggested to us was to make the original footers and support columns heavy enough to support a second story, if in the future we had a need for it. That way they could just lift the roof structure off, build out the walls on the second story and replace the roof....making a second story very attainable in the future. We agreed that it was an excellent idea and agreed that we, Wellspring of Life, would pick up the cost of the reinforced footers and support columns. That cost is: $3467.00 and is what we will need to raise. 

We have an offer from Orphan's Heart to match funds dollar for dollar which means we need only raise $1733.50! This is your invitation to join us in God's work in El Doradito! We are so excited to finally have a building where we can have our church services indoors, where we can begin our own school and help to see these kids get an adequate education, where we can begin micro-enterprises so the villagers can begin to become self-supportive, and a common area where they can hold their business and social meetings. It will also give our teams a place in the shade with bathrooms/running water/electric where they can eat and minister to the villagers.

Please pray and ask God if you should take advantage of this opportunity to be personally involved and invested in His work in El Doradito! If the answer is yes, please notify us via e-mail(bcoder@tds.net) or FB of your decision and the amount of your commitment so we can keep Orphan's Heart appraised of our progress. You may make your checks payable to: Wellspring of Life and send a note with "El Doradito community center" attached. Our P.O. Box is:
