I've just come from a meeting where I learned God has sent us a new donor for the Buen Esperanza project. FedEx wants to pay for 6 homes to be built by May 11! It is just amazing to see how God is moving through this project from it's inception in our hearts to the physical building of homes to families accepting the Lord! We were going to be at a standstill until our next team mid-June and now we will have 7 homes completed by the time they arrive!
There is one caveat: FedEx is paying for the old style home w/o a bathroom and our Honduran partner, Cepudo, was only going to build that type of house. We told them we couldn't drop the bathrooms now and that we would raise the extra money needed for the bathrooms by mid- June. The cost is $200/house or $1200 for all 6 homes! Normally that would be $18,000.00, but now we get all 6 for $1200.00.
Please take a moment and ask God if He would have you sponsor a bathroom or part of a bathroom. Will, Joyce, and I are headed to the village shortly to meet with new home recipients and give them the good news. Tomorrow we will begin tearing down old shacks and clearing the land for the work to begin on Monday! This is a lot of work in a very short period of time, but we can't miss this opportunity God's given us!
God just continues to amaze us in ways we couldn't even imagine through this project. Celebrate with us and don't forget we only need $200/house!!!
Finished home with the happy family!
