Today we saw the fruits of God's blessings as we passed two milestones in construction on the orphanage.
First, the excavation of baroche is finally over! We have been mining this very tough rock since we arrived last Friday to form the floor substrate of the orphanage. No one is quite sure how many were required, but it was around 35 hard-won trailer loads with pickaxe, breaker bar, and shovels. The whole team helped at various times, but the final crew at the pit were, pictured left to right: Pastor Petrus, Johannes Beukman (Missionary), Shawn Potter, Jim Faison, Patrick (local resident), Tim Thomas, Tom Kopko, in back: Ed Windhausen, Ronald (Orphanage Chairman), in front: Amy Tromba.
We are joyous in God's providence at the orphanage because today we also began to put on the roof! Richard Weweka led the roof construction and was assisted by Bill Root and Tim Thomas.
God is showing us how important Sundays are to rest, after 6 long days of physical labor. We look forward to video conferencing with First Baptist Church on Sunday.
