Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go....





Because we were staying at a school that meant that we had
children everywhere at all times.
You couldn't sneeze without an audience.

 

After arriving in Honduras we meet up with our ministry partners for the summer, Mercy International.

 



Our team arrived at the building site to find that we had just over a week
 to complete a building with only a concrete foundation to work with.

 

They informed us that they had set up a construction project for our team.

 



The building was made from large adobe bricks made from mud
that we would have to bring down a hill to the work site.

 

Which shocked us because we were under the impression that we would be traveling with them to different villages to do presentations and door to door evangelism.

 

 

The bricks were joined together with mortar that we mixed by hand.

 

We did get to do this later but only after we had spent 10 beautiful days at a school in the clouds to build them a building which would be used as a feeding centre (much like a breakfast club here in Canada).

 

To make mortar it is required that you have fine sand without rocks.
 Which for us meant sifting the sand and then hauling it
with broken wheelbarrows held together with wire.

 

Because we were staying at a school we had the opportunity to spread the gospel with our daily presentation practices.

 

Many of us learnt new skills such as steel tying.



Where we would learn Spanish worship songs and new dramas telling of God's love with the children and the village people that were observing our every move.

 

Laying the foundation of the church meant
hauling and laying large rocks.

 

After the completion of the feeding centre we had the blessing of being able to lay 2/3rds of the village's Church foundation.

 

Just because the work was hard doesn't mean
that you can't have a good time making friends for life.

 

This was a blessing to us because the village had refused for the church to be built until they had a feeding centre.

 

One of my favourite jobs on the work site was swinging the pick axe.

 

So through our summer work project we could open the doors to the gospel in the mountain top village!

Thanks and GOD Bless!!
