Ohio Team . . . a Surprise and a Blessing!




Recently the team from Circleville, Ohio, came as a surprise . . . and left as a blessing. They were originally scheduled to go to Bolivia but there were complications in which they could not enter that country. We received a call from HQ to see if we could accommodate this team with less than two days notice. And we could!


Because of the short notice, the usual supplies that are ordered for a project had not been ordered, so the team spent the first few days with many projects. Some painted the comodore (dining hall) at the W&W center, some repaired a leak in the comodore's kitchen sink, some built new cabinets to replace the ones ruined by the leak, and some worked in the Seminary's library cataloging English books. God definitely sent us a blessing because the team was willing to help with whatever we needed -- and we definitely had several needs!


Eventually, the team left the Quito area to continue foundation work on the newly started church in Chillogallo (south of Quito). These pictures show the hard work required. We praise God for sending this team to us!
