"Finished" Photos of DR Mission Site - Summer 2013

Thanks for Your Patience

We are long overdue to share our progress in the DR as of this summer.  Brian finished his work in June and returned home, and this post includes ALL of the latest photos, events, and celebrations as things got finished this summer!

The finishing work on the building was performed by the last couple of groups that came down from Our Redeemer (Wauwatosa, WI) as well as some folks from Montana and Oregon.

We can't do enough to thank and recognize the hard work of our volunteers.  We couldn't have done it without you!

Here are all kinds of pictures of all of the progress that was accomplished this summer before Brian came home for the year.  The group home is complete!

 

Several parts of the building have nice murals.

 

Similar to the school and the seminary on the hill, the group home has a big cross on it!

 

All the work was done by local contractors, community volunteers, and missionary groups from churches.

 

The school yard has some cool gardens.

 

A huge dedication ceremony was held to celebrate and dedicate the orphanage.

 

Several enterprising workers made this industrial home-made basketball hoop to play "full court".

 

The beautiful inside of the group home, all finished.

Comfortable bedrooms and sitting areas throughout the home.

 

The kitchen opens into a large living area with big windows and a view of school and yard.

 

The open-air environment gives an inside-outside feeling at the same time.

 

Many local citizens, pastors, church members, and volunteers celebrated all of the good work. 

 

Thank you to all of our supporters who helped us accomplish so much in the DR.  Please pray for God's continued grace and provision to the people of Palma Arriba!
