1. The rebar for the first columns is up at
the church in Hernani and the foundation is poured. This is causing no
small stir in the community. People are REALLY excited.
2. U-Turn for Christ Hernani Calvary Chapel is the first building in the Hernani area to be rebuilt. The entire community is coming by to lend a hand.
3. The team put up a
sign in front of the church that says, "Soon to Rise... U-Turn For Christ Hernani Calvary Chapel." The neighbors are inspired.4. All the neighbors want help rebuilding their own homes. The opportunities to minister through service, prayer and fellowship are incredible.
5. The workers are all
using hand tools to do the work. The only power tool they have among
them are a couple of cordless drills. Pastor Gerry says it looks like an Amish church
building to watch them work together so beautifully.
6. Pastor Gerry is scheduled to return to the US on December 12th.
His son Joshua will be relieving him. Glenn Cole from Calvary Chapel Lone Mountain is also on his way
there, to arrive around December 10th. He will work as a construction supervisor in Samar for some months before taking his position at CCTC Dumaguete.
7. Several teams are
on the ground helping with the work. Currently, there are two teams
in eastern Samar. The goal is to keep them going throughout the next months and
years.8. The church building at Borongan has a roof. The next project will be the kitchen which is waiting for Glenn Cole to arrive.
9. Calvary Chapel Dumaguete and Calvary Chapel Training Center are planning a Christmas in Hernani outreach on December 18th. Please keep that in prayer.
