All of the reports from various subcontractors on the damage to the
sanctuary are in process and the adjuster is waiting for the to be
completed so he can make his assessment.
The Study Group on rebuilding has met twice and already reached
consensus on all of the major concerns that we have thus far
discerned. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE BEEN A PART OF THIS PROJECT.
It has been a real joy undertaking this very big responsibility
together. I feel that God has really worked through you in this
process. We will make our report to the Ad Board on February 14th
and to the Charge Conference on February 18th.
NOMAD UPDATE: The first session of Nomads have already come and
gone and left behind most of the work list completed along with some
very-much-needed improvements to homes in our community. WHAT A
BLESSING OUR NOMADS ARE! WELCOME TEAM 2 AND GOD BLESS YOU IN OUR
TIME TOGETHER.
We have designed our education, kitchen and
fellowship buildings to double as a staging area for visiting medical and
construction teams serving in Mexico.
The “Team House” is a converted farmhouse,
which offers additional lodging about 3 miles further south. Church
volunteers greet and assist approximately 35 mission teams a year, providing
translation and prep work as needed.
Several of our church members, as well as
Winter Texans and other friends, work in the colonias of Nuevo Progreso.
In
Nuevo Progreso and Rio Bravo, things during the day are quiet and safe. We are
happy to say things are not as dangerous as they are in the rest of Mexico.
See Shop Progresso website.
Thankfully, many people in these cities are still being
helped by caring, loving people who come down from “up north”.
Houses are being built, medical teams are seeing countless
sick people, and churches and schools are being repaired and renovated.
