Mission House and Church Going Up

Thanks to the generous gifts of friends in Oregon, we were able to buy property and begin building a mission house/church here in Bernal. The construction began in April. We have had many church work days, as well as the help of the group from Clackamas Bible in Oregon, and Village Bible in California. Richard's folks also came for 3 weeks, and painted most of the inside of the house.

Now in August, we are hoping to be able to move into the house at the end of the month. Richard and Gadiel plan to hook up the water tank and hot water heater on Monday, the doors and windows should be in by next week as well. There is still plenty to do, and we will move into the house with much lacking, but over time it will get done.

Once we move out of our rented house, and into the new one, that also means that the church has to move. The church upstairs has walls and a beautiful roof. I'll get pictures posted of that as soon as possible. The newest pictures are on Richards computer, and it is out of comission right now. We are having to wait for more funds to be able to continue with the Sunday school rooms, doors and windows for the church.
