A Community Building Itself

Recently Amor was able to raise the funds to build a home for a family in need in the state of Chihuahua, outside of the city of Ciudad Juarez. This area has been particularly struck by the lack of groups this year, and many families have been waiting for almost a year to receive a home. When we told the pastors in the area that we had the funding for a home, they volunteered to be the labor to build it. Over three Saturdays in August, they built a home for the Gardner family. Nancy Gardner is a single mother with a five year old son, a three year old son, and a one year old daughter who lives on a salary of $25 a week. The family had been living in a small, one room shack, and had been waiting for an Amor home since December. After the pastors’ hard work, they now have a home of their own. We took some pictures during the building process. Check them out to see what the community in which we were building is like!
