This last week I built with Rushville Christian Church from Joplin, Missouri. This was there 13th year coming down to Juarez to serve. Rushville was a very unique group because they did so much more than just build a house. They did community cookouts, VBS, worked on a church, handed out gifts, etc. They were a really pleasure to build with and very fast as well. We built the house in 16 hours!!! Part of the reason that it was built so fast is because they hired Mexican Nationals to help us build that week. It was a really amazing thing to do in my opinion. Im glad that we were able to help some Mexican Men feed their families.
Eustiola was the woman that we built for this week. She is one of the sweetest elderly women I have ever met. I told her during the week that he house was strong and she said, "I know it is strong because it is a Casas Por Cristo house." That was one of the greatest gifts I had ever received in Ministry. She also told us on the last day that she has nothing to give us but she knew that Christ would reward us when we get to heaven. I know that she was impacted for the kingdom last week.
I do not build for quite awhile sadly. I will be updating this blog every week still. There is plenty to tell you about and I am excited to do so. Hope all of you are well. Please pray for Julie and I.
