When you think of the possibilities of what God can do, do you doubt? do you fear? do you become mute? do you refuse to move?These past two weeks have not only demonstrated, but proven the immense love and unlimited possibilities of God.  He is not some being that sits in the heavens with disregard for us.  He is not just a good example to possibly follow.  He is GOD, the KING of kings, the LORD of lords, the ALL-POWERFUL, the ALL-KNOWING, the ONLY GOD!  If we choose to follow Him, NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING can separate us from the love of God.As our second work and witness team departed this morning, I reminded them of their eternal impact and blessings they have given to the community of Calan.  They might just think they laid a concrete floor, but GOD will use that new floor to allow hundreds of children to play and learn on, and to hear about His grace, peace and love for them.  On that very floor, the Escuela Nazareno students will be reminded that NOTHING, not Satan, demons, drugs, alcohol, prostitution, sex trafficking, sickness, death, can EVER separate them from the love that is Christ Jesus.  Because, if God is for us, who then, can be against us?Below are the progression of images of the Tri-Cities Work and Witness Team's work, on the new 3rd grade classroom, that was completed in just 8 short days.  Photos also include the installation of new gutters to prevent flooding and a new ceiling in the church sanctuary for relief  from the brutal heat.  As you look at the photos, be reminded that God is limitless...and He will use those who are willing to serve Him...


Day 1: laying rebar for footing

Day 2&3: laying CMU foundation walls; this is Aaron...a very good Honduran worker

Day 4: laying CMU in the middle for support wall

Day 5: ground is level and ready for concrete slab

Day 6: concrete slab is being placed by Honduran and USA volunteers

brand new concrete slab in place

New ceiling in church

New gutters to prevent flooding

After witnessing this work accomplished.... God is undeniably bigger than I can imagine....
