My Home Church Built a House!

I am amazingly blessed to have a church that is willing to support me and be God's hands and feet out in the world. My Dad and Mum led a team of 12 others to build a house here in Tijuana. Over 5 days they visited a Rehab center where th

ey painted a building, went to a local church and went for tacos and to the marketplace, built a house over 2 days and helped with a local children's program at a church and visited an orphanage as well.

It was an amazing outreach and I can totally see how God's hand was in the details. The team was blessed by God, having come from 4 different communities in Manitoba and from multiple different churches as well, the unity in the group was amazing. The team did amazing work. The house that they built is beautiful and the family that they built it for is sitting inside their newly built house with a clean cement floor, with a roof over their head that keeps them dry, and enough groceries to last about a week.

It was super encouraging to have my hom

e church here. It's great to work with my parents especially when building a house for a family in need. I'm surprised that I am not exhausted. With all the planning, working, driving, and preparing I seemed to be going all day for their entire stay. I can definitely say that God provided me with the strength to keep going. It was a privilege to build with my home church and I am excited to see what will happen next year. Hopefully more than one church building more than one house!
