While we were updating the blog our little gecko friend was hanging out on the converter on the desk beside the computer. You can see his tail on the backside of the converter. He accompanies us many times while we are working on the computer. He was too bashful when we tried to get a picture of his entire body.

January 23, 2009 - Food Distribution

After the food was passed out the team along with church members and many from the community gathered to pray on the spot where they want to build a roof for the church to meet under. Also, a short video of the event. The guys on the right is Saul (superintendent of the Bible Institute) and Beto (the pastor of the church)

More pics. The tables are the kitchen for one of the houses. The sign on the other house says "Me and my house will serve the Lord."

January 23, 2009 Food Distribution

Today we took the team to a community where we have our newest church. Presently the church meets in a house. The team passed out four lbs. of beans and four lbs. of rice to each family - about 80 families. The community gets it's water from the 55 gallon drum as water drains into it from the rain runoff.

January 22, 2009 - Pool Party

A short video from the day. The kids only get to go to the pool one day per year so they take full advantage of it. They also had a nice covered soccer field. Some of the kids, the house dads, and some of us gringos played some soccer. We all had so much fun playing together we're discussing having a kids versus adult game at Faith Home. Not much doubt on who will win. The only chance the adults have is because one of our two kids that play professionally has a broken foot and won't be able to play.

The Food. The pool served everyone chicken strips (probably why there were so many chickens running around - didn't see as many after lunch), fries, salad, and a soft drink. The line waiting to eat and the people eating.
