We are closing in on the end of our trip. Work on the teachers quarters is going well.

We just finished our 5th day at Jireh and it’s not going to be easy to leave! The exterior walls are now completed on the new section of the teachers quarters and the vents are going in with the rafters will be going up next. These quarters will house up to 11 people or more and will even include a “shower” in the new section. Our new friend Alex is the brick layer and his crew of Johnny and David are becoming friends. I never knew a Cliff Bar could mean so much to someone.

The dental clinic is finished now and Dr. Ames saw over 177 patients and extracted 34 teeth. Overall he says the oral health of the Jireh children and staff is quite good. Dr. Boyd is now finished with the medical clinic and has been relegated to throwing bricks and mixing mortar.

The FCA girls spent some quality time sharing their stories with the Jireh girls and the Jireh girls shared their stories as well. These are life-changing events and ones the Father uses to help break down barriers and encourage ALL of our students in their faith.
