"Tapping" Down the Walls

Many Hands Make Light Work!

Little Workers

In December, the ladies who work with the children of Emanuel Day Home took a well-deserved break.  After Christmas, Emanuel Baptist Church began the process of tearing down an old, run-down building, in order to make room for a much needed dining hall, bathrooms, and classrooms.  Many members of the church, down to the little ones, came to help, and the foundation is now set for the construction of the new building.  To help pay for the work on the foundation, the ladies of the church have been working hard selling everything from old bathtubs, clothes, lunches, and delicious homemade doughnuts!   A team from the United States will be arriving next week to begin the construction. They will raise the walls, put on a roof, and get the building ready for plumbing and electricity.

Making Tortillas for Baleadas

This is all exciting news for our church, as well as the Children’s Day Home, which will be blessed with a more sanitary dining hall and bathrooms.  This does not come without a price, however.  Because of the construction, the children have not been able to return since December.  Please keep these children in your prayers, as they wait for the reopening.  This month also marks the beginning of a new school year, with many returning to classes this week.  We are thankful that most of the children continue to attend Sunday School on a weekly basis, and it is encouraging to see their eagerness to learn more about the Lord!
