Land

Through incredibly sacrificial giving, the church here has been able to purchase one of the few available tracts of land in Sumpango (this is the land that the student team from Lakeview helped clear two years ago).

One elderly woman, who was too poor to go to the doctor, and was dying, had her son give her "last offering" to the Lord of all she had saved. He brought her $25 to the church after her death.

Such selflessness would surely have been commended by Jesus in one of his stories.

But rather than start with a church building, they've begun with something to serve the community directly (see next post)
