Projects in Sector Ocho

The new bridge (not bad for first time bridge builders)

Yesterday I drove up to Sector Ocho to see some of the completed work projects. I had not seen the new church since it was completed. And I had not seen any of the new bridge.

One Sunday while I was in San Pedro Sula, a group went to church in Sector Ocho. It rained the day before. The creek was flowing deep and wide, thus preventing many people from getting to church. Marc said many were crossing anyway. In all honesty, how many of us would have waded through knee high water to get to church. Also many children were not able to get to school on Monday because of the high water. Our group decided to build a walking bridge for the community and they were so appreciative.

I drove up there. What beautiful sights I saw. There were groups of children playing. There were some children with our team members. A clothing give away was being held at the church building. People were lined up outside the building eagerly waiting their turn to receive some clothes. Inside, clothing and shoes were neatly organized and several were being helped. I saw people walking to and from the church building across the new bridge.

It was great to be able to see these things happening and know the people of Sector Ocho are giving glory to God for their new church building, their new bridge and their new clothes.
