Tis the season!
December 1, 2009
Greetings!
Exciting news happening in Alajuelita these days!
Christmas season (and winds) if officially here, and with that Genesis Construction is starting to enter what, to put it in simple, unworthy terms, could be called our ¨high season¨
We just sent off a team from Parkview, Illinois that did a lot of work at the children`s feeding center but also laid most of the bases for a house for Noylin. We at CCA are very excited for that house, because the girls of that family hold a special place in the heart of many of our members and supporters. Not that we favorites or anything like that, but we have been searching for a solution for that family and are glad to finally be making some progress!
Today Larry and Carole Pribel arrive in town, and then after them we have the rest of the team from East 91st Church (except for a couple of guys who snuck in on Saturday). All in all they are about 40 people!!! While here they will do many things, one of which is, praise God, build a house for one of our aforementioned families, Doña Xiomarra del Socorro. A women truly in need of help. We are anxious to get that build underway and look forward to the blessings and challenges that God will sure put before our path on the way. Please pray for all those involved with the build and the going-on´s these coming days, as well as safety, health and provision for the impending team.
Immediately after sending off the team from East 91st, we have a team of Lutherans (or the ¨Luteranos¨ if you are Chuck) coming in to help us out with ANOTHER house! How blessed are we, and how much shall God bless the people of Jazmin this December! I have not been informed if the family for which the Lutherans will build has been confirmed, it was slated to be Maria de Lopez (See next step, pt. 2) but she has actually moved out of Jazmin, hopefully to a better area and a better life.
Hope all is well,
Merry Christmas, and God bless you all! (especially if you are reading this blog that means you are awesome!)
