Raise the Roof
After
days of waiting; we figured out that professional welders' service is a necessity.
Members admitted that the help they can contribute are limited. Fortunately, I got acquainted with my new neighbors in the city who are professional welders. We planned to visit the place to do some assessment. I told
them that the best time to travel was on Sunday so I can have a free ride going
to the mountain but of course I contributed some money for the gasoline. Below are pictures of my new neighborhood.
We
traveled at 7:00 am and arrived at around 9. The children were already waiting for their
Sunday school.
We had a good time travelling knowing one another and I also took the opportunity to
teach about Jesus. Dodoy, their leader, surveyed the place and
estimated that the labor cost for the roof welding is 1200 dollars (60,000
pesos). I tried my best to bargain and lower the price but that is the lowest
cost they can give. If we include the costs of the steel doors and windows it will reach 2000 dollars. The locals will build the post and walls for free—we
just buy food during work.
This is
God’s house and all of us have to contribute; thank you so much for the
materials donated. There's still a lot to do though but I believe if we move together,God's house will stand.
To my
friends who helped me carry this heavy load, God knows you and has blessed you. Through you, more people will become committed believers of the Word.
We are
in a battle and we are facing a strong enemy but unity is strength. The Word is the
bond that unite us.
God
bless everyone.
