We're Going Back!

Last January, our team had the privilege of building 3 homes and a clinic for families living in severely impoverished conditions. We partnered with EFCCM’s career missionary Cecilia Huezo and El Ro-I Ministries in the small community of Tutultepeque, El Salvador. 

A few days before we arrived, the families who had been chosen to receive homes had to tear down their current structures. With no shelter, they were sleeping under the stars for a few nights. No question about it, they needed homes! Most had no bathroom, kitchen, fridge and more importantly, no safety from the elements.

We built small, basic houses consisting of a prefabricated metal frame with corrugated steel siding and roof. Each was assembled in a single day with Canadians and El Salvadorians working hand-in-hand. It was a life-affecting experience!

On the 15th of January, a team of 8 men from the APD, and the Manager of Missionary Care from EFCC's Home Office, will be heading back to build 8 more homes in Tutultepeque! We are not only returning because of the great need for these physical structures, but also for relationships. People matter. To be able to go back after a year’s time and continue to work alongside the community, invest in lives, encourage others, and be together, is an extremely significant part of the role God has called us to. Please keep our team in your prayers and follow the blog for more updates and information to come. We are thankful for all of your support and encouragement as we couldn't do this without you!
