August Pine Ridge & The New Church
August 15th
The Church at August Pine Ridge
Things are busy as usual here. Dennis and Debbie Murphree have been here for the last week. We have been helping Bro.Manwell get started on the new Church at August Pine Ridge .Don had the lot Bushhoged . There are three acres. The rest was done by machetti . We have been over their several days trying to help also Guinna Grass men helped and others.. The fence is now torn down and the neighbors can cross their. The inside of the house has been painted PINK and I didn't choose it either. They have moved in Manwell has quit his job so he can spend his time growing the church.. They have been visiting in the villiage trying to get the people started back to church. Don is going to get them a socker ball today as several have been asking. They promised to help keep the grounds clean if they could start a ball team. Hope that works out. Don fixed them a shower so they could bath without using a pan in a closet. Arnesto and Gallo have helped with the move and the water.problems. Dennis and Debbie helped visit in the villiage and Dennis worked on the computors here. They were a great help to us. Last Sunday their were eight children . This Sunday 9 children. At night there are several boys that hang around the church. But they don't enter. San Lazaro Church had service their last night trying to encourage Manwell. The house was full. The Praise Team was their but didn't preform. Their was a terrable wreak Sunday. They were 11 people in the back of a truck all were hurt . Four are still in the hospital one very seriously. They were hit by a drunk driver that hit them even though they were in the ditch on the other side. They were all police, two were killed a man and a woman. The other lost a eye and has head injuries . The people in the truck are kin to everyone here some of them were children. Don gave them the van and gas money to go to the hospital. They had to collect money from the family and friends before the hospital treats them. While one was bleading to death the family was having to collect money. We dont know how blessed we are. They didn't even give them pain medicine unless the family gave them money first. They don't have it at the hospital . They have to go and open the drug store!
If there is anyone the Lord lays on their heart for August Pine Ridge . There is great needs their . The Church needs a new cost of paint inside and out, Window fixed, New doors .We need HELP . Maybe a team can come and donate their money and time for this. Also the house needs a new coat of paint on the out side and its roof leaks when it rains. Please pray about this
Saturday was a special day for San Hill Church they had their first Fund Raiser for their new Church. It was celebrated by singing all evening and all kinds of food. The plans for the New Church were in a place of honor. Claudio gave a great speech about the church. I could see the Fish swimming on the little lake and the Bridge with its raised arches. The windows that overlooked all the beauty of the lake' The raised ceiling and yes the cross that is mounted on its roof. Their was a church made to put money in. It glittered as a becking call to those who wanted to be a part. Its only the beginning for Sand Hill. If ever a vision could be given then It should have been given. Then the people bowed in prayer as Claudio and Don prayed for its beginning!! Praise the Lord.
There is little time for myself and Don. There are people here all the time. They say they don't wont us to be lonesome and go home. So when the company goes the children and adults come to visit. It is good to feel so loved.They have gone out of their way to make us feel loved and wonted. I am greatful for that. Thanks for the e-mails keep them coming they are a blessing to us.
