Del 5 a 12 de Julio eramos bendecidos de tener un grupo que vino de la Escuela Cristiana de Heritage en Indiannapolis.  Nos ayudaron con la construcción (o mejor destrucción) de la escuela…

La destrucción del techo y sacando el escombro…

Queremos agradecer al grupo de la Escuela Cristiana de Heritage y a Matt y Esta Jesch por traer este grupo para ayudarnos.  Estamos en el proceso ahorita de hacer el piso de concreto por este espacio y esperamos que tenemos fotos pronto que podemos poner de este progreso.

From July 5-12 we were blessed to have a group come from Heritage Christian school to help us with the construction on the school…

A special “thank you” to the group from Heritage Christian and to Matt and Esta Jesch for leading the group down here to help!  We are currently in the process of pouring the new floor for this space and hope to have pictures posted soon of that progress!

Si Dios permite, vamos a terminar con los dos últimos salones y la entrada de la escuela antes de que empieza el próximo año escolar.  Las siguientes fotos son del progreso de la semana pasada que hicimos con la ayuda de la Iglesia Reformada Ortodoxa de Ft. Worth…

Lord-willing, we will be finishing up the last two classrooms and the entryway to the school before the beginning of next school year.  The following pictures are from the progress made this past week with the help of Ft. Worth OP Church…

Over Christmas we were blessed to have a team come from Indiana to work on the school and on fixing up the dorms.  (If you would like to see the picture better, please double click on it and you can see a full-screen view.)

Front entrance painted with refinished doors (Please look at old posts to see what this used to look like as well as for the pictures to follow.)

Hallway painted in front of finished classroom

Finished classroom exterior (distance view and close-up)

Children’s play area with painted retaining wall and door installed

For those of you who stayed in the dorms in Santa Ana this past summer, you will appreciate the upgrade here!  These are the new stairs and dining room floor in the dorms.

The group was also able to do a lot of painting in the dorms as well, but I forgot to get pictures of that.  A special “Thank You” to Crossroads Community Church for their service and hard work!

Moving in this week!!!!!!!!!!!! Thursday will be the date when everything will be settled, Lord-willing. They have started to have classes in the room!

Views of both sides of the classroom

New boy’s and girl’s bathrooms

Thanks to everyone who has played a part in making this possible!!!!!!!!!

God bless!
