WANTED
Brick Layers, Plumbers,Carpenters
and anyone with a desire to help build.
 Short Term Construction Team From Michigan
We are sending out this email with the hopes that it will touch the heart of a
few hard working builders, men and women alike. Willing to sacrifice some of
their time, money and energy, to help us build a better future for some of the
many orphaned and abused children in Chiapas, Mexico.
For those of you who
aren't familiar with "The Potters Ranch" project, it is a 106 acre ranch located
in the mountains of Cintalapa, Chiapas that was purchased two years ago with
the vision of constructing a working ranch/children's village. A place where children
can grow in a healthy environment, surrounded by the beauty of God's creation. As
part of the goal of making "The Potters Ranch" self-sufficient we currently
have 39 head of cattle, 15 goats, 50+rabbits, 70+chickens and one old horse
that the kids love to ride.
When the project is
finished it will consist of 20 small homes that will house between 8 to 10
children in each home. There will be a school, carpentry shop, gym and
clinic/dentist office.
The training center/administration
is where we will focus our energies on raising up local believers to fill all areas
of work and ministry on the ranch, knowing that the best legacy we can leave as
missionaries, are qualified local believers to carry on the work of the
ministry.
So now comes the part
where we need your help. We are in great need of a team of block layers,
plumbers, carpenters, and all those who are willing to work. Over a year ago we
started the construction of our first house the Bunk House called that because it will be where we will host or bunk our short term missions teams while they
help us build the various structures that will make up the ranch. Last year we were
blessed to host a team from Michigan that came down and helped us get the Bunk House
to the point that you see in the picture below. What a blessing they were, I've never seen people work so hard..
But that's as far as we've
gotten. So we need plumbers to come and help us put in all of the drain pipes, water
pipes, the water tower, septic field etc. Next we need block layers and masons
who can help us put up the walls (3000 blocks will do the job). Last but not
least Carpenters to help us with doors and windows.
Tammy and I had the privilege
of sharing in a church here in Chiapas last Sunday and afterwards a brother came up to me and said that he and his family would like to donate 30 tons of
cement towards the construction of the ranch, WOW praise the Lord. What a huge blessing, since
cement is one the most costly parts of the construction.
