Cornerstone's very busy day

Blog 2011 Day 3

Today was a very busy day.  God’s blessings were to be seen all over.

Today the foundation for the house was poured and the first of the 2 levels of blocks were laid.  The family to inhabit the house is always around and the father is working very hard right alongside us. 

In the morning we made some general visits to families in the community.  It was so humbling, as Misti put it.  “I can’t believe that our presence here can be so encouraging and makes such a difference to these wonderful people.   I am a nobody from nowhere.  It’s amazing that God uses us for such an impact on these people.”    We visited 5 or 6 houses and everywhere we stopped we were told that our coming here was a blessing and for us to go to their house was such a privilege and a blessing.  Each place we went we were able to share of God’s grace and the eternal hope he offers to all of us.

VBS in the afternoon was a great blessing once again.  Despite a whole new group of teachers the kids recited the lesson from the previous day and listened intently and enjoyed all the time together.  It is exciting to see them hungry to learn. 

Always there are kids around, holding our hands as we walk and playing and even just sitting by us when we rest.  Their smiles are constant and we are observing more parental involvement than we had before.  It is a privilege to be Gods hand to them.

This is the house we built last year.  The family is still so happy to have a place to safe clean place live. 

Greg is doing much better, thank you for your prayers. 

This evening we shared one of the Narnia movies with the community, it was well attended and a great opportunity to share a positive influence.
