Our building crew works every Thursday and Saturday from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm weather permitting. We are building a five bed room two bath home. What can you do? 1. Pray for our volunteers and for the family. 2. Make a church commitment to help with the financing. 3. Provide a meal on Thursday or Saturday for the construction crew. 4.
