Christmas Building

Our next build is coming up in just a few short weeks. We will be starting the build on the 28th of December, just a few days after Christmas. How cool is it that people are willing to build a house over Christmas and into New Years? What an incredible gift to give to a family. I find this act of love inspiring for many reasons. Instead of enjoying the comforts and rest of Christmas time and vacation, these men and women have decided to love a family they've never met and owe nothing to. They have decided to be a Christmas miracle.

The group that we are building with is Cornerstone Christian Church from Shiloh, IL. I have built with this group twice and am looking forward to the third. They will be giving this amazing Christmas present to the Rojas family. They are a family of six make an income of $50.00 a week. It is starting to get cold outside. In fact, I just turned the heat on in my office. Can you imagine living in a pallet built home in the middle of winter? About the time we go and build this house, it will be cold enough to snow. This gift of a warm insulated home is going to give this family relief and give them joy this winter.

With all the things that come with the house, the message of the gospel and the tangible realization of God's love is the most important. We celebrate the savior coming into the world on Christmas. What better way to celebrate His coming than to come to a family with love and the message of Jesus. Pray for us as we prepare to bless a family with this gift. Pray that God would be working in their hearts and minds to receive His word and His love.
