Multi-Purpose Building Project at Camp

Back in early Dec., a work team from Washington State came down to the Lican Bible Camp to help put up a new covered multi-purpose building. These men were loggers and knew how to work 10-12 hour days. They accomplished the tough project during their two weeks here in Chile.

Kristi's uncle, Mert, was the leader of the work team. Without his experience and guidance (some would say persistence), the project would NOT have been completed.

OSHA would not have approved of the large majority of "methods" that these loggers used, but they seriously "got 'er done" without sacrificing quality.

The camp ministry didn't have enough funds to pour the cement floor while the work team was in Chile. Praise the Lord, several weeks later, the remaining funds were donated by some Chilean brethren!! The floor still needs to be poured and we hope that this will happen in the very near future.

Once the floor is poured, the building can be used for a soccer, volleyball, or basketball court. Special events can be held in this building even in rainy weather.

Our family was able to help one day while the work team was here. I cleaned and painted some of the metal that was put up for the roof. The metal structure still needs to be painted. There is no lack of work on the mission field.

A huge THANK YOU to the work team from WA. May the Lord bless you all. We appreciated your willingness to come to Chile and invest in the Lord's work.

If there is anybody interested in forming a work team to help in Chile, just let us know...there's SO much more to do.
