Our team is done for the day.
We've been building a house on a high, high hill. I don't know the name of the region, but it takes about half an hour from the Korean church where we're staying at. The more we drove up on the hill, the poorer the neighbourhood was.
It looked like a garbage dump. We met the family whom we are building the house for. The kids were playing on the ground with their broken toys beside glass bottles. I wish I canp show you a photo of what the house/ the neighbourhood looks like. But I gotta wait until I get home! I was so heart broken that I teared up when I saw how they were living. It is something that I've seen before on TV, but it was definitely different when I saw it in person. You really don't know what it's like until you see it with your eyes in front of you.
We have completed putting up the two walls on the sides, and we also managed to put up the roof on top. We started the facade and placed a window on it. We stared about 9AM and went on until 6PM. Thankfully it wasn't too sunny nor rainy, so the weather was perfect for a construction work. I'm thankful for today's work that God did through us, and I'm also thankful that no one got injured.
Please pray for us that we will complete the house for God's glory, and that God will grant us safety and physical health. I pray for the good weather as well. I also pray that through that one house, the family of the house as well as the neighbourhood will be open hearted in coming to know God. I pray that the house will be a blessing for the family and the neighbourhood.
