Taking Shape

On April 1, 2009 we signed an agreement with the local government that gave us stewardship of 1 acre of land in the Freedom Martyr's Village in Soran, Iraq. Up till now, we have not had a chance to take full advantage of this tremendous opportunity, but this weekend all that changed.

Here is a pic of the land on April 1, 2009.

The spring rains make everything look pretty around here, but as of last weekend the land looked liked this.

Not so pretty with piles and piles of extra dirt, we had a lot of work to do.

Here's our contractor with Abdullah and a few of the neighborhood boys -- their school in the background.

But, like I said, this all changed this past week. The land was cleared and dug out for the foundation of the community center as things seem to be taking shape.

 

Praise the Lord with us as we take this important step. Your prayers will be most appreciated as we seek to provide a place, a platform really, upon which we can serve the needs of the orphans and widows of Soran, Iraq.
