We Are Family!



It is so exciting to be part of the Family of God! Brothers and sisters in Christ, obeying the Lord, and working together to get the job done.
Condensed version of story: Father of this family and his oldest son were killed in a car accident in January of 2011. They were on their way to be part of receiving motorcyles from Christian Motorcycle Association. There were 7 people killed in the accident. This family was left with a mother and 6 children and no place to live. A local pastor donated property for a house. We got a team to raise funds and come down and build the house. Local pastors, neighbors, friends, us, and the family all pitched in to get the job done. We made the walls of fabric provided by Al Barrett and his Threads of Hope ministry. Salma & Elvis, the young couple who use to live with us, took care of all details at the Olanchita location. Scott, Anne-Marie Vosburgh, and a group of women and one guy from Canada came down, stayed in Olanchita, and worked like dogs in really hot weather to complete the majority of this house in 5 days!!! Can you imagine? A house in 5 days? All with volunteers?
We want to take a moment and PRAISE THE LORD! He is our PROVISION!
