CHURCH CONSTRUCTION PRAYER LIST 2009

PRAYER LIST FOR THE SUMMER OF 2009



There have been requests by visitors, asking me to POST a list of projects that need to be completed in regards to the new church building, well here they are :


1) We need the top part of the pitched roof capped on the church. We will need a high powered metal screw driver (4" screws self tapping) for tin roof. Power will be pulled from nearby power line.


2) We need to do serious completion of the Kidz Church, we need to complete all the cinder block walls interior and exterior. Cement mixed by hand, with fine sand and carried to block handlers by wheelbarrow. We can enlist the help of local men.


3) We need to put a roof on the Kidz Church the tin is already purchased (need buy the screws and metal support beams).


4) We will then need to white plaster all the interior walls (paint is just as expensive).


5) We need electric wiring and light fixture set up. Wires are put in pre-set tubing in the walls.


6) We will need a septic trench dug and pvc set for toilets and sinks.(bathrooms and Cafe)


7) A final project will include the pouring of cement for the floor of both Church and Kidz Church. We plan to use a decorative concrete floor stain and cut scores into the slab resembling tile work.


8) We will need interior furniture, pews, pulpit, and desks.


9) Then we can focus on the Cafe which we will use as a ministry outreach and incoming team fellowship.


10) A final landscape finish will be applied with proper water runoff and design. Local flowers, shrubs, coffee plants, banana trees and the like to be planted.

On special note, a good friend and watchdog:

Muneca died today, she was left to us by Carlos our watch man, she filled his position ever faithful. We knew things were ok when she was on watch, she filled in some gaps when we were homesick and missing our country and family. She never asked for much. She was 100% Catracha. I will miss her, good old bacon ears.

They came to check things out.




These men represent five solid ministries and we were blessed to have them all come and visit, we are weighing the possibilities of a day care and not to distant future orphanage. The results were: "They did see alot of need, in the people, land, and community.

This large tree fell behind our house, click on photo






...a very lound crashing noise...


It was the start of a quiet morning, a light breeze was picking up momentum, a drizzle like misty rain was falling and without notice we heard a crashing boom. Some tremendous force splintered the air with a very loud sound behind our house. As we looked out to see what had happened we discovered that this very large tree had fallen (2.5 to 3 feet in girth and perhaps 3 or 4 stories high) down, with bigger heavier branches broken and sunken deeply into the soil. It was a site to behold, more so if you are from the southwestern part of the states.
