Many of our friends, relatives and faithful supporters have written, asking about our post hurricane needs. Approximately 70 percent of our house was destroyed, leaving only our first floor (which is mainly garage with a couple of unfinished side rooms). Now that there is no roof above the first floor, the first floor leaks terribly, jeopardizing our household items that are stored in the basement. Fortunately, the rainy season is just about over giving us around nine months to rebuild.
In God’s mercy, our guest room was spared without any glass breakage—when the main house has very little glass intact. The palapa roof over the guest room has a few holes and thin areas, but also held strong. We are now living in the guest room, with our belongings either downstairs or in our covered trailer, which I affectionately call our walk-in closet.
In our original update we shared that we were praying as to whether we felt the Lord would have us rebuild or move somewhere and just rent (which would be very difficult with all of our tools, ministry materials, etc.) We now have an assurance that we are to stay where we are and to rebuild as the Lord provides the funds. We wanted to be sure to share this decision with all of you, since many of you have been asking how you can be of help.
If you would like to help in this time of need, our greatest need is for funds to rebuild our house/mission station. If you would like to give, you can give securely online from our website or you can send a check to our home base in Michigan and Bry (who holds down Fort Michigan) will make sure the funds are deposited in our account, in the rebuilding fund.
We can’t thank you enough for all the praying and caring for us during this time. May the Lord bless each and everyone of you!
