Rajun Cajuns and Rednecks

Wow! Sounds like the start of a Danny Leblanc joke . . . many of you know what we mean! We had a mixture of people from Louisiana, Alabama, South Carolina, & Tennessee this past week, and the Lord used them mightily to witness to the lost and poor of La Primavera and La Pinada. They were able to build 12 houses, give 100 families food and clothes, and fix up house #2 at Love the Child children’s home.

With only 18 people, this group worked really hard to complete the 12 houses, especially considering the fact that the sand did not arrive for most of the homes until day 3. After the first day, Derrick’s nick name was “slave driver.” We are still trying to figure out why working a 10 hr shift for the Lord makes people react that way! But it was all fun, and the group had a blast serving the Lord despite being worn out.

We passed out food and clothes in a village called San Jose Pakul. A church from Santiago, Sacatapecez had a host of events before our arrival. San Jose has no evangelical church, so please pray for those from the church who are sharing the gospel. And pray for open hearts.

Hopefully we will get some pictures to post . . . sorry that there are none at the moment.

The only reason they called you a slave driver, was because they had only one sandwhich to eat. But it was all good. Thank you for the work that you are doing down there.
