Water Tank

80,000 liter water tank

Preparing the Land

It is so good to see a big start on the site. And all 15 acres are paid for. Yeah!

Progress is moving along

It is so exciting watching our project for the ministry to the wives and children of the prison inmates coming together. The land paid for, well dug, (needs to go deeper) all the material bought for the water tank.

Damian's vision right now is to have sufficient water, raise the walls for the multipurpose (church, dining room, teaching center and play area for the kids) plus bathrooms and a taco stand to help earn money to cover daily expenses.

The last two days there has been a grader to level a couple of hills for the start of all this building. "Whoo ya, pastor". We have to do this as the money comes in! He on the other hand says he is working on faith. He needs the money to pay for the grader by tomorrow.

I know of a couple of checks in the mail but they haven't arrived as yet nor do I know the amount of these checks.

Well, to be truthful, the Lord in all my 71 years has NEVER been late so it will be fun to see how this comes out.

I talked with Damian on the phone earlier today and he has some new photos, so will get those up tomorrow.

Thanks for standing with us. God is doing a marvelous thing here.

Building Project Update for Una Esperanza

Pastor Damian stopped by this morning on his way to Pochutla to see if any money had come in. I was able to give him enough to buy the cement block for the walls of the water tank.

He then gave me a list of some of the material needed for the water tank and for the columns for the  multipurpose church building for Una Esperanza. He needs sand and gravel, rebar for the columns, cement, alambre (not sure how to translate this but know what it is (LOL) and paint for the metal bars we already have for the roof of the multpupose building. Then there will also be wages for those helping to install the church and build the water tank.

Here it is the end of the year and maybe you need more deductables for 2009. Agape Mission Projects is a non-profitable organization and your financial support is tax deductable.

I will keep you all up to date as the progress of this project. I am also going out right now to buy a little groceries for the young wife and children living at our church here in the Huatulco beach colonial La Cruzacita.

Water Tank

The other day Damian and I went to our friends building supply store to see about buying a tenaco, a  large storage unit for water. It was going to cost around $350 dollars for the size of 2,500 liters we were thinking of.


The next day Damian stopped by my room and God spoke to him that we needed a larger storage unit than the 2,500 liter storage. So he priced building a water storage tank that would hold 15,000 gallons. Oh my, the size of a small swimming pool. But the cost will only be a around $700 dollars. It will hold six times the water, built of cement and enclosed, all above ground.


We do have one water well, but so far it is producing very little water. What will it be in the dry season? And with us expecting many families to come live on the property plus growing our food, well??


Anyway I told him, "that is a great idea". He wants to start tomorrow! "OK. But we have one small problem. There is no money left in the bank for supplies to start."


So prayer warriors help us pray in the needed expenses immediately. I've seen Our Lord do that for us through many miracles so we are expecting to start ASAP. He will supply all our needs according to His purpose. Since this was first posted a Canadian friend is coming down and giving the first $100 on this project.

Paid In Full

Just in the nick of time the exact amount came in to pay for the tires for the Suburban. Our God is never late and He laid it on two different people in two different countries to pay for two tires each.

Thank You Jesus!!

WE have been able to safely carry people in and out of San Agustin that has extremely bad roads safely.

The Suburban

We did end up importing the suburban. IT cost us $1,400 dollars but it is done. It is much better as Sheri doesn't need to be in the vehicle when used.
