"Share the good news..... it is for all Nations."
"For the son of man did not come to be served...
but to serve."
Mark 10:45
We delivered Maggie to the Providence church where she met her youth group at 2:30 am this morning. Twenty three teens and 8 parents set out for Louisville airport where they will catch a flight to El Paso, Texas. Upon arriving in El Paso they will purchase a grill, all food supplies and pick up a rental van. They will cross the border into Juarez, Mexico. Juarez is a very low income city where minimum wage hovers around $5.00 a day. Families are forced to construct makeshift homes of cardboard and pallets. Temperatures exceed 100 degrees on summer days. During the next 4 days they will meet an assigned family and build them a house. The first photo is of the bus pulling out this morning. The rest of the photos are from the Casas por Cristo website. The second photo is of the local children in our building area. The third is a completed house like our youth will be building. The last two are of the types of housing that our assigned family is currently living in. No cell phones, no showers, no hair dryers or curling irons, this will be quite a culture shock for most of these kids. Please keep them in your prayers. I know that God will keep them safe and that it will be a life-changing experience.
