An actual house… if unfinished, definitely dried in and ready to withstand the ugly weather between now and the next phase of construction! Praise God!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The final week of house construction was – in a word – grueling. For Don and I, it was the ‘leave everything on the field’ moment… a final push to wrap up three months of hard work, long days, cot-and-tent sleeping, missing family, unbelievable logistics, and a relentless deadline imposed by the coming rainy season. We’d given all we had, and the weight of stress and exhaustion fell heavily upon us. Yet – as ever before – God was faithful to uphold and sustain us! Furthermore, we were not alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what it looks like when a guy who doesn’t love heights helps with roofing! Don very graciously found me a chance to help while not<\/em> near the edge!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With the dedicated efforts of Crossroads Bible Church’s building team, we reached all of our primary goals for this first phase of house construction. Together we planned, adapted, sweat (a lot… it was hot!), and pushed – working through the challenges which arose, whether anticipated or not. As we found while working with the Peaceful Valley team, some surprises required creative adjustments – yet, by the end of the week, we found that God had brought things together such that the house was where it needed to be. Bring on the rains!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming home from such a long time apart in the mountains, our family’s long-awaited reunion was wonderful. Amy and I attended the graduation of our eldest niece, Bonnie – then headed out with our kids to NTM Mexico’s biannual field conference! The teaching was excellent and the fellowship sweet as ever, but the best part was simply being back together as a family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plans for our next ministry steps are already in motion, and there is much we look forward to sharing with you in the months to come. There remain travel plans to make, construction logistics to work out, build teams to organize, and more! However – for today – it is enough to simply pause, and thank God for His great kindnesses and faithfulness to us during the challenges of this last season of life. He has always been enough, no matter what He has allowed us to face… and we know that this truth will never change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
