A local pastor connected us with a family who needed some work done on their house. Here are some pictures of us enjoying working as a team. We are putting a gutter on their house to catch rainwater for their water tank and building a fence and painting it.
One of the locals warned me that along the way I should be prepared to give. “It will be of little effect” he said, “if you say to them ‘God bless you’, and give them nothing. There are many people a lot poorer than me.”
I quickly thought of James 2:14-17 where Jesus says,
14 “What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16
and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,”
but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what
does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. NKJ
and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,”

That’s the truth friends!
