On Sunday, I arrived at Casa Hogar Douglas around 9:30 AM to prepare for church. When I got there I discovered that they had been without electric for 24 hours. Because their water well works on an electric pump, that meant that they were also without water. We began to determine exactly what was the problem so that we could get it fixed. It actually was Monday morning before we could get someone to come and tell us for sure that the transformer was bad. On Tuesday, 3 days after the power outage, we are getting the new transformer installed and the power turned back on. Those 3 days have had temperatures over 100 degrees and the kids have not even had a fan. I have been hauling water from our well in the back of my truck. We also have fed the kids on Sunday and Monday here at our property. All of the food that was in their refrigerators has gone bad and the bill to replace the transformer is $3,000.
It has been a rough week so far. But that is why we are here. Without Back2Back's help I'm not sure where the children's home would get help. We are so thankful for your support. You are helping to meet these physical needs by supporting our ministry! That enables us to have a platform to share the Gospel with these children!
Next week.....We are planning VBS! O Yea.....
Never a dull moment with you all. Praying for it all.
