Building Projects at Hocaba

Dear Friends and Family
We saw the vision for the CC Hocaba building, and it made our day of laborious work so much more meaningful because believers in this Mayan village will be able to meet in a sanctuary, and the students be able to have rooms for Sunday School. There will also be an office and kitchen instead doing church in ONE makeshift hut. They will also have a water purification plant in the vicinity, providing drinkable water to the village.

Alot of construction was taking place before we arrived, and the construction workers were pleased to receive additional help, so that the building could be completed before the deadline. They were also surprised that our American students (girls and guys) came all this way to do hard labor work, carrying blocks of concrete for up to a mile in some cases.

Well, to be like Christ to all men.... that is a moment to savor. One of our students leader said, well, at least we can say we have help build a Village in Mexico for Christ in our life time. A good way to look at it.

We will be doing an outreach in Hocaba tomorrow, be praying for our VBS presentation as well.

Waiting for the Tabi team to come back, and will post you their updates.

God Bless, Christabel
