Improvements to the system

September 30, 2008

God has laid on Levi’s heart to develop a building system that meets many needs here in Guatemala. The more Levi shares the building method/system to others, it is obvious this can be used worldwide. There are currently others waiting for the system to be fully developed in God’s time to be shared and passed on.

We are so excited about this and while making the first molds and panels, the possiblity of it being used elsewhere is in mind. Through a lot of engineering, drawings, trials, and now ‘prototypes’, Levi is making a complete production package for this system. It will make things much easier in so many ways.

Pray with us as this is engineered and made to the new specifications to accomidate local and global needs. especially that the new design will also simplify the production of the panels. This is just like God. As we work for Him, He keeps showing His ways that are greater and more simplified than originally thought. Thank you God for your Love, Grace, and Son.

Print Material & Prayer

August 30, 2008

We are now working on our print material to explain what we do and the whole vision to allow people to pray specifically with us about what God’s called us to do. Since our friends came to help, we now have pictures and video and best of all a home started for the Hernandez family. We also did Bible studies with them with not only encouraged the family but the team in their walk with God.

Pray for us al we work diligently on our materials and pray for someone to sponsor the printing. We know God’s got it all figured out. We walk in faith with your love, encouragement, and support!

Hernandez family

Hernandez family

Friends of ours in Tennessee from four churches are lead to serve, bless, and build the Hernandez family home. They have arrived today to do whatever God leads them to do with and for the family. We are anticipating fellowship and Bible studies, training for the process of this building method, preparation of the site for foundation, and some construction of the home.

All have agreed, this is NOT about the home, it’s about building relationships with each other as we build our relationship with Jesus. We’re so excited and hopefully prepared for our friends. It will be a blessing to us to have some extra hands to help in the final R&D stages of this building method with actual field work.

Keep the family, friends, and us in your prayers as we all work for God and His Kingdom.

Getting close…

Bible studies and construction for the Church and the Lost.

Bible studies and construction for the Church and the Lost.

The project to build a home for the Hernandez family is getting closer. Closer to what? Well, starting that’s it. Engineering is on going with a concentration on quality.

The family is so patient on God, what a testimony they have been. They also know thier home is the first being built, and it’s going to be looked at reviewed in so many ways. Keep the preparations and the logistics of this project in your prayers.

Pray for what exactly?

  • That material costs stop rising
  • That the water and electrical hook up from the city happen sooner than later
  • For the church that has sponsored this project from the heart
  • For all the manual labor put in the project is quality and glorifies God
  • The neighborhood understand ths Free gift of Jesus, if they choose to accept it

As more metal is being purchased to make molds, we get an unexpected price hike! It has gone up, so what to do? We bought the minimal amount to get another set and a half of molds made. So far we’re keeping the $300 price needed to be raised for a mold and a half.

Pray about the prices to lower. We’re patient and subject to our environment, but more importantly, we’re submitting to God’s plan His way.  So with these two, it clearly says, “we’re going to use what we have and move forward.”

What does this mean?

  1. We’re not going to waste money. – We have upfronted money out of our budget to start these molds. Now we raise funds from other lead to give to make the permenant, reusable molds.
  2. We’re not going to waste time. – As we can, we’ll keep pouring panels into the molds, let them set up a day, and repeat. We do this until we have enough panels for a building. (roughly 60 panels for a 2 bedroom, one bath home).
  3. We keep praying.

God is wonderful in the relationships we’re building with those trying to build a relationship with Jesus. This is more important than building a home on earth. Pray and have God lead you in your involvement in this ministry. Bless you.
