This is our friend, Christian, from the previous church of Pastor Carlos. He is a very skilled craftsman and he has a heart for God. Last year when he was out of work, he offered to come to the new church and help us work. To do so, he has to ride several miles by bicycle to our hotel to catch the bus up the mountain to the new church, then reverse the process at the end of the day. Last year he was robbed on his way home and they took the money we paid him for his labor. This year he again was willing to come to help us, but he has a job helping rebuild the only hospital in the area which was severely damaged by the earthquake in September 2012. It was so important to him that he got permission from his boss to come and help us. So even someone like Christian, who has nothing, is giving of himself to help others. It is this kind of Spirit that is alive in this community and we are blessed to be a part.
