Church Mexico Update

A couple years ago we completed drawings for a new community center for a very impoverished part of San Luis, Mexico.  The center will, when completed, provide restrooms and showers, a meeting room for community events, medical and dental clinics, as well as for the Church at San Luis to meet on a regular basis, and a building to house for classrooms, and visiting teachers and mission teams.  Construction pictures of the restroom facility were shared on a post last January.  Following is a note and some photos from pastor, and ministry leader David Power on the latest progress:

The guys from Church & neighbors worked sun-up to sun down and moved about 20 cubic meters of sand by shovel for almost 3 days, while the ladies brought breakfast, lunch, then dinner throughout After the sand was leveled and the forms set, today re-bar was tied together into the footings with the men & women tying it side-by-side as you see in the pictures. Tomorrow, cement trucks will arrive at 6am and we will pour the first half of the foundation for the very first Church building for the New Testament Church Planting Initiative "Church Mexico" (we'll pour the other half on Monday, but looks like we'll mix & lay that with shovels unless some other funds come in to be able to pay for the truck). This building will also be used for the Community Center during the week. This is all a big deal in itself, but it's a bigger deal to us as we've been holding services outside for over 4 years... I want to Thank Everyone of You who have helped us over the years - without you, we wouldn't have gotten this far! God Bless You!
