Aguadilla, Puerto Rico 2006 Project Pictures

 

 

On Monday - the first work day - our World Changers work crew had the old roof removed in less than one hour!

 

The next few days was spent replacing damaged wood with the material we were given, and carrying old debris down to the street some 107 plus steps below us.  Many of the residents in this area are very needy, yet the view is breath-taking! 

 

A student participant nails in a piece of pressure treated lumber to strengthen the truss work at our construction site in Aguadilla.

 

A student participant puts in the remaining screws on the ridge cap to complete our project.

 

 

Our work crew was named the "Crow Bars" and was comprised of student participants from 5 different church groups.  Each student put their heart an soul into serving throughout the week in Aguadilla.  They are truly "World Changers!"

 

My son, Andrew, served on another crew that learned how to do masonry work - laying blocks, tying rebar, and forming columns, etc.  They were very blessed as 6 local residents received Christ as personal Savior - a result of their labors!!!  Houses will always be in need of repairs, but lives that have been changed through the work of the Holy Spirit are changed for all eternity. 

 

At the conclusion of our work week, Andrew and I got a chance to see some of old San Juan. This picture is taken at the Castillo de San Cristobal (part of the San Juan National Historic Site).
