In early June we had a team from the Biola college in California offer to come and help us. They were really great and accomplished so much. We delivered Bibles to a village down a remote river and we were able to pray with some of the people there. They were also able to hand out Bibles to the kids leaving the school next to us, putting them in plastic bags so they wouldn't get wet with water in their canoes. The girls of the group helped with gardening while the guys helped with the roofing of the building that is currently being made into a school/dorms/church area. They also hand-mixed cement with the help of two Christian surfer guys who were willing to lend a hand. They poured the floor in an area under the house that had been completely dug out by hand which took over a year. This area is for providing future housing for full-time staff. The team planned a "game day" to help continue building a relationship with the local people. Erin Elmore, one of the girls from the team, gave her testimony at the church service we hold for the locals. They also did worship. The kids loved this team and I believe the adults learned so much from them as well.
Thank you team Biola!
