Thanks to our Home Church




We are so grateful to our home church and the many members there who took upon themselves to be ¨missionaries¨ to us while we are living in South America. We had had a family living in our house with the hopes of purchasing it, but after losing their jobs etc. they decided not to buy it -- which left us with needing to do some repairs and cosmetic landscaping to get the house ready once again to sell. In the spring of this year, our home church in North Carolina decided to make our house their ¨Jerusalem Project¨ to help with the repairs. And so, they put on a new roof, black shutters, poured a cement walkway, metal columns for the front porch, metal awning for the side door, replaced tiles for the back walkway, power washed the house and planted new shrubs. We are sure there are other things they did that go over and beyond what was needed, but all we can say is ´THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SERVANT HEART´. We feel honored and so blessed by the sacrifice of time and effort that the people at the church were willing to do to help us. Lord willing, we will be closing on the sale on November 2nd.
