Equipped to Reach Out

10/18/2011

0 Comments

 
For several months we’ve been working on a project that will make a huge difference in how we minister to our community.  In order to continue forward we realized that we needed more tools from the US.  We needed to equip our Children’s Ministry, get food processing equipment to help us be more independent with our food production, and bring in 15 donated laptop computers.

So, we undertook the huge process of bringing a container from the Richmond, VA area and we lots of people we need to thank.  Paul and Shirley Furrow (Jason's parents) worked tirelessly to help us gather the items that we need.  Thanks Mom and Dad.  We love and appreciate you.  Life Church and Evangel Christian School helped us out by donating items, storing everything until the container was ready to ship, and loading the container-- thank you guys!
Destination Church also donated items and helped load the container on shipping day.  And we can't forget David Martinez (our right hand man down here) made 8 trips in our white work truck to bring all of the items up the mountain.  Thank you everyone!  

It was a lot of work, and we’re still sorting it all out, but now we have so many more of the tools that we need to grow in our ministry.

Steps in Self Sufficiency

10/18/2011

0 Comments

 
Last October we began working towards more self-sufficiency with our food and we started raising sheep.  We started with 14 sheep last fall and as of this October, we have nearly 30 sheep, including 17 pregnant ewes. 

Since the main motive for this project was to produce food, we butchered our first two sheep this past week and experimented with different ways to prepare the meat.  Our first efforts included roasting, barbecuing, and making sausage, and all the results were tasty.  Here’s a picture of us making sausage with David and Wilfredo (one of the houseparents). 

This year look for us to make major strides in our food production ability -- in meat (beef, lamb, chicken, and fish), dairy, eggs, and fruits and vegetables.  It’s not going to happen all at once, but we are growing in our ability to produce our own food.

We are celebrating five years of ministry!  God has blessed us with a very productive season and we are thrilled as we look back and see how far we've come in our quest to care for children who desperately need help.  

To celebrate these years we put together a memory book summarizing the time.  These pictures show how we prepared to, and now are caring for abadoned children, and how we've reached out to our community.  Click on this link, choose to make it full-screen from the bottom right hand corner, and enjoy watching a ministry be born!
