Well, we got here in one piece on Saturday, we’ll all need to visit Kevin Larks when we get home after the 6 hour 100 mile trip down the bumpiest road in the known world.
We woke up the next morning (Sunday) surrounded by paradise. We’re faced with deep lush rainforest and mountains on one side, and the pacific ocean on the other. The team brought us early in the morning to the site in the rain forest. We started the morning with a worship service then spent the rest of the morning and afternoon moving cinderblocks for flooring, mowing the thick grass around the centers “lawn” and hauling fill dirt for the new cinderblock floor. After putting in a good day of work, we grabbed a shower, some dinner and spent the evening with the beautiful people at the church in town.
This morning (Monday), started out with devotional time led by one of the ATC staffers Robin, who has spent the last year in the Congo ministering to rape victims. It was a powerful powerful time. We put in a good 7 hours of hard labor today and tonight we’ll have dinner with the folks from the church.
You should be so proud of your fellow church members. There has been an abundance of sweat and an absence of complaining. As their “leader” I am so excited to minister shoulder to shoulder with such great people.
Please continue to pray for us, the ATC team and the people of the town where we are staying. It looks like the Pastors will not be joining us, but God is Sovereign, and there is PLENTY of work to be done! See some pitures Below!

Hey! It's about time! :) I've been checking about every hour!
Seriously though, I'm glad to see things are going well. It's furiously hot here and lip parchingly dry. I look forward to your future updates!
God's gonna work greatly through y'all.
Love to all of you (but especially my wife),

Hi. We don't know each other but I read a blog that mentioned your site. It looks beautiful there! May God watch over you and bless you as you minister to others of Christ's love.
I'm praying that each of you are given many opportunities to show the love of Christ to everyone there. (Tommy--get me some sea shells.)
