The Church that the Teams Built

  • Thank you to everyone who came and worked hard in the heat to  make our church                              building a reality.






At first it was just a back yard which had to be cleared.  It had a tree in it that had to be chopped down.  The team worked hard to clear the ground and prepare it  for construction.  They brought funds with them to start laying the foundation.                                                                                                                                                                                                        


                                                                                                                               



Gerry Stoltzfooz from Freedom Valley  in Gettysburg brought a crew of men who worked hard to put up walls.


  • John and Teresa Decker from Quakertown Morning Star sent us a wonderful offering which enabled us to pour the cement roof. 

Peckville church group from Blakly PA came with some money to continue the work. We really needed the space. There was no room for the children so they sat on the floor.    We really appreciate the work they did.

By Christmas we were able to have our Christmas meal in the church even though it was full of cement bags and dirt.  

Then the Quakertown team came, led by Cyndy and Glenn.  They really blessed us with their talents and hard work.  


They came with some talented artists and instead of just painting the front of the church, they painted a mural.  It looks beautiful.


Our Christians are so thankful for all the teams that came to help us.  They are poor and would not have been able to get this church building done by themselves.  But they wanted to do all they could.  So they had a bake sale and clothes sale and were able to buy paint.  They have painted the church and it looks so nice.

  • Thank you very much, teams, for helping us plant a church in the Dominicn Republic.   We really appreciate you. God will reward both the givers and the goers.
