A Big Week

Thanks to all of your prayers, the first coat of stucco made it on to the Baby Home just before the weekend storm hit. Also, we had a crew from our sending church, Horizon Christian Fellowship come on Saturday and get the upstairs patio ready for stucco as well as start painting the upstairs bedrooms. Indeed, it was a big week.

Calvary Church of Santa Anna

This week we were blessed to have four men from Calvary Church of Santa Ana working on the Baby Home. Led by John Fenn, the group in various forms has had a hand in building every building currently at GCH. Their rich history of service here and the memories they have of this place are a huge blessing to us. This week they focused on some drywall finishing and installation of the sound proof flooring upstairs.

CALL TO ACTION

PRAY - The stucco team begins its work on Monday. Please pray that the Lord would hold back the rain long enough for them to get the first two coats on.

Reality

This weekend we hosted a team from Reality Church in Ventura. They were able to finish priming the walls in most of the upstairs rooms. Also, we started working on the septic system again. On January 2nd I put out the prayer request for a crew that would stucco the exterior of the Baby Home. Every blog post since then has included a request to pray for God’s hand in this process. I was reminded that we serve a God of abundance this last Friday, when I received not one but four different contacts that were interested in potentially taking on this part of the project. One of those contacts confirmed today. They will start on Monday the 21st. The Lord’s silence on the matter since January was a test of my faith. Looking back at my prayer requests, the time it took from the first request until God’s faithful answer to our prayers was exactly 40 days.
