Three Families' Lives Changed in Cofradia

In the last month, three families' lives were changed as groups from the United States came to help build them a new home.  

The first house was built in Santa Fe for the Figueroa Vazquez family by the Zaugg family from Ridgeway, Colorado.

You can read more about this house build in a previous post here.

People gathered around as we dedicated the house.

The second house was built in Cofradia for David and Isabel.  Many of you know Isabel who has served as an Interpreter for us and was one of the first missionaries here in Cofradia.  After marrying, she decided to settle in Cofradia.  Her and her husband have been living in borrowed homes with the current one that leaks.  Northlake Community Church from Bellingham, Washington came to build this family a home.  Here is a time lapse video of the first day of work:

As we dedicated the house to the family, David shared from his heart with us how God had impacted him and his relationship with his family during the week.  This is something that the family will never forget!

The third house was built in Arrayanes for Boni and Karen by Damascus Road team from Snohomish and Marysville, Washington.   Karen suffered a broken back in a vehicle accident just over a year ago and has been confined to a wheel chair.  This has made moving around pretty difficult given their yard is dirt.  Her husband, Boni, is a prime example of a man who selflessly serves his wife as we all saw his heart when it came to helping Karen.  The Damascus Road team brought her down a comfortable wheel chair and also helped fund leg braces so she can begin therapy in order to learn how to walk again.  What an amazing time and an unforgettable occasion in the life of this young family!
