Mission Accomplished!

The first picture is of Mery, the administrator of Campamento El Coro. She has just been given the keys to each of the 4 apartment rooms that we constructed. She was overjoyed at the completion of our work because it will enable the camp to expand its opportunities for ministry. That, and I told her that one of the keys was actually the key to my heart. She is such a sweet, devoted servant of Christ. She receives no pay for her duties, she simply does it because of her love for Christ. All the bookwork, all the scheduling, all the oversight, all the EVERYTHING!!!! She does it as a labor of love. What an inspiration. (personal note: she is also the best cook in all of South America!) The second picture is looking down the hallway of completed apartments. The dust still fills the air...this photo is fresh! We almost ran out of time, but in the last 10 hours everything came together just like it was supposed to. We didn't finish the floors and we didn't get to finish all the painting, but anyone can come in and do that. There is a womens retreat scheduled very soon for the facility, so I expect it will be completed sometime this week. If I get any photos, I will be sure to put them up. Thanks again for all your prayers and support. With the increased price of airfare, we had to ask for extra help. A huge heartfelt THANK YOU goes out to the following churches: New Hope CP Bethel CP Highland CP Fairfield CP These churches went above and beyond the call of duty to kick in some extra support to purchase materials and supplies so that we could do the best job possible. Other individuals sent in some money as well. God knows who! Thank You on behalf of all the children, youth and young adults who will be blessed by your gift. Be Blessed Jeff
