Rain, Roof, and Families May 30, 2010

Rain, rain, and more... 

We ask your prayers for El Salvador and the region.  Tropical Storm Agatha has hit hard and again, the country has suffered damage and there are still risks of flash flooding, and landslides, many live in high-risk areas.  Camilo and I are currently in San Salvador, because we do not have access to Ojos de Agua due to landslides on both sides of the mountain.  We hope to return home tomorrow (Monday).

Also pray for Guatemala, Pacaya Volcano south of Guatemala City erupted, many have died and there has been, obviously a lot of damage to the surrounding area. 

Family Week

We are planning a special week for families in the community. From Tuesday until Sunday (June 1-6), we will be holding special talks about seeking harmony in family relationships.  The pastoral team of Camilo, Heber, Cindy and Mercedes will be sharing topics Tuesday - Friday and Pastor Rolando Sanchez from Canaveral, Honduras will be preaching on Saturday and Sunday.  The evenings will also include, videos, and special music.  We ask for your prayers for the event, and that lives will be touched.


Roof construction begins

Two weeks ago the roof materials were delivered and work began!  Camilo has been welding, Pastor Heber painting the steel beams, bricks are being laid, and brothers and sisters from church have arrived to volunteer their time to help in anyway they can. We are thankful for the donations and for a recent donation by Carlos Garcia owner of the store where we purchased the roof materials. He has donated a window, ceiling, and door for the room that will serve as an office. The rains of this past week have suspended work, as soon as we dry out a bit work will get going again. We appreciate your continued prayers for this project.
