In the middle of August the second floor of the orphanage is going to be finished, praise God! The laundry room is now finished and we will be connecting the brand new washer and dryer. We are going to have two more rooms for kids that can fit ten more kids in each room. We also have a small apartment upstairs for missionaries that want to live in Honduras that contains a bedroom, bathroom, a living room, and a kitchen. Finally, there will be more room for the workers to stay so that we can be prepared for more kids. We are going to have the water connected very shortly.
In the third week of August we are going to fix up the farmhouse so that it will be livable. Dennis, our farm manager will be living there after it is finished. We need someone to be there for corn harvest and that is ready in September so we are believing for that house to be done quickly.
In the first week of September we are also believing for the walls of the medical clinic to be built so continually pray for that also!
We currently have 61 acres in Guatemala. About 20 of those are already planted with corn. Next week we are going to finish the fumigation. The corn is going to be ready for harvest in one more month in September. The fencing is all finished for the cattle. The water feeders are also ready for the cattle. The house for the rancher is also now finished. In October we are going to be buying about twenty calves to start a cattle farm. Soon we are going to begin building a barn for the cattle.
In the second week of September Carlos is going to Guatemala with his crew to build the feeding center and church in Guatemala City. The permits for the building are in the process now.
We had a total of 41 people come in two different groups which was the most ever for our Honduras trip! One group came June 30 and the other came July 3rd. We just got back from the Honduras missions trip on monday. With the help of all the 41 people that came we were able to move the orphans from the old orphanage to their brand new home! It was an unforgettable moment for the kids and also the missionaries. It was a lot of work making the move, but the missionaries were blessed to see the kids enjoying their new home. Donations were given from all over that were brought to the new home and were given to the kids. They each have their own hand made blankets for the first time in their lives! We were able to put in a small swing set and a basketball hoop for the kids to play in at their new home. We thank everyone that came for their hard work and sacrifice to make the move possible! We also thank everyone for their donations as the kids are so blessed to have toys and clothes now!
Pictures of the rest of the trip. This includes the Crusade, Kid's Crusade, Feeding at the church and garbage dump, the banquet, the farm and other miscellaneous pictures.
Five new kids arrived to the orphanage on the first week of June. The children were being abused by their father and he was forcing them to beg on the streets for money so he could spend it on drugs and alcohol. The kids are now safe and protected at our orphanage, praise God!
