16 Tons & Whataya Get?

Posted on May 7, 2008

Hello all,

Wednesday evening here and we’re back at Yuri’s.  We had a great start to the day this a.m.  Before we left for Max’s house a truck pulled up and we proceeded to unload sixty 50 kilo (110 lb.) bags of cement.  When we got to Max’s house here comes the same driver with sixty more to unload.  !3,200 pounds of concrete…Good Morning!  Now we’re ready for work.

We had another great day of work and fellowship.  Our little group moves right along from task to task encouraging, laughing and joking with one another…the banter is constant and lively.  Today we finised the drywall work and most of the plastering.  We got one bedroom floor poured and intend to finish the kitchen, bath and other bedroom tomorrow.  No lost time accidents today!  We will put up a sign in the morning proclaiming “1 Day On the Job With Zero Injuries”!

Once again I am blessed…What an awesome opportunity it is to serve.  Isn’t it cool that the God of the universe allows us to serve Him, His people and His Kingdom.  He doesn’t need us and we’re certainly not worthy but He uses us anyway. 

Thank you all for keeping us in your prayers…we love you and will see you soon.

    My Brothers, it brings relief at the end of stressful American day to read your blogs. I truly wish I could have been present to unload that 13,200 lbs. of cement for the Lord vs. my normal routine. What a blessing to be a part of such a great ministry! I pray for you all as you work to accomplish your goal for the week. I also pray for safe travels home. I know God looks down and smiles upon you all for your hard efforts. May he continue fill you with His Spirit!

    Your Brother in Christ,

    Ken Hill

Our Mission

HopeHouse International exists so that Orphans in Ukraine can become adopted by Christian couples within their country. Adequate housing is a barrier for most citizens, and it is a government prerequisite for adoption. HopeHouse International enables adoptions by addressing adequate housing needs which result in three or more children being given a family and a future.
