The rewards are defiantly worth it! 

During the first team's visit, Salvador was awarded his diploma for the three month rehab program. 

Continue to pray with us for transformed men and their families!  Keep praying with us for the tranformation of our city, La Esperanza.

Bob and I invite you to see more photos of the teams' construction project of the Rehab Center.  Go to Trinity Evangelical United Methodist Church's web site at http://www.mytrinity.us/.  At the bottom of the page is a section that says photos and videos.  You can find the Honduras photos there. 

Many families are depending on your prayers for the construction of this drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. 

Each morning the men from the rehab center come work on the construction site.

From the well, located at the bottom of the property, pipe lines were laid off, dug by hand up this steep mountain, and then tested to see how much water the well will provide.  Keep praying!

Rehab Director Arturo and Bob want chopping with machetes to find the best spot for the septic tanks.

The men work hard on the site.  Remember, these men are not just trying to quit drinking or doing drugs they are changing their life styles.  Manual labor is a rude awakening for many of them.

Of course Arturo's boys love to come spend time on the mountain.  These goats should soon provide milk for the center.

The views are extraordinary!  Look south...

...look west...

...look north...

...then look east toward the south part of La Esperanza.   Each view provides a panorama of God's great outdoors!

 
I close with a precious site!  Recently Benjamin and Paula's family purchased a milk cow for their family!  They live next to the rehab center.  What a thrill to experience their high emotion as they reported the birth of twin heifers! 

Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice!
