2017 Trip: Day 5

March 25, 2017 by Michelle Schwake Leave a Comment

Today was the last day at the building sites.  Everyone spent time putting up doors, windows and trim.  I only received pictures from one team today so everything you see here is from Team Lanzo.

The day started out with prayer from Silvio, the on-site super.

Doors and jams are made on-site and then installed.

Working on a door jam.

How’s this for a construction tool!

Silvio installing a door jam.

Scott & Ben installing the door…or at least watching the door being installed.

Next came the windows which are actually louvers with no glass or screens.

Window frames being installed.

Last minute window adjustments.

Installed windows.

A view from inside.

The top and the bottom louvers can be adjusted separately to make the most of breezes and blocking sunlight.

Most of the concrete work was done the day before with just a sidewalk scheduled for today at one of the homes.  As Silvio likes to say, “No hurry, no worry.”  All that was left was some trim work.

Scott & his buddy, Abel.

I’m sure the crews were busy with last minute jobs today.  And this evening they were spending time with the families and saying their goodbyes.  Hopefully I’ll have some pictures of that to show you soon.

Tomorrow (Sunday) is a big travel day for the team again.  Please keep them all in your prayers.  And please continue praying for the families as they move into their new homes.  Pray that they would see the love that God has for them and would put their trust in Him.

Until tomorrow, many blessings to you all.

Our Vision

Faith is a Journey

You never really “arrive” at becoming a mature disciple maker. We are all called to continually grow deeper in our relationship with Jesus, to grow in love for others, to get better at blessing those around us and to increasingly share the love of Jesus with everyone. At GREFC we realize this through four key areas: Connect, Equip, Serve & Go!
