Team from Ardmore, Oklahoma

A lot of Andrew's week was spent in DIY shops buying materials for the team who worked extremely hard in the Drop-In Centre. What an amazing job they did and what a week for them too of mixed emotions and hard work. Here are some of the pictures of their progress.

Some of the ladies looking great in their cleaning gear

The grease was think on the walls, roof and floor and everyone worked hard with brushes and detergent to get rid of it.

Holes in the wall are filled in. The team made the tables they are standing on and they will be used in the workshop for kids to work on.

Another shopping list being put together perhaps...

A horrible old window was taken away, a new wall built and fitted with a much smaller window with polarised glass.

A new cupboard is built for storing tools in.

Paty helps one of the team members mix filler for the holes in the walls.

Thankfully 3 Mexican inches are the same length as 3 American inches!

Another hole in the wall is filled up
The team take some time to pray for the work.

And then they go to the streets to visit some kids who may well benefit from their work.

Then it's back to the Drop-In Centre to meet the concrete lorry (truck) and lay a floor

This is just one of the street kids who came along to help out during the week. The team were amazed at just how hard the street kids worked. Two of the men prayed with this kid (through translation) on Friday and he re-dedicated his life to God.
With the new floor laid and dry the team touch up all the cement work etc . and hey presto - a fantastic workshop where the kids can earn money which will keep them off the streets.Obviously these are just some of the shots. We are so thankful to the team for giving their time and energy this week. As you can see from the photos their work was valuable for the present, for the near future and for eternity. We can't use adequate words to say thank you to every member of the team - that includes you as you pray for us and the work - but one thing is sure - there is a reward waiting in heaven and wouldn't it be reward enough to see some of these precious kids by our sides at that grand heavenly feast! God bless you all.
