I notcied all the cars in front of the building and was just curious about the situation of most of your saints. My Aunt is a Missionary to the Philippines and when I was 18 I was priviledged to be able to go over and live with her for about 5 months. It was cerainly an experience I will never forget. Their people had to rely on public transportation. I was in awe at the dedication from these people and the time and money that it took for them to be able to come to the house of God.
It's a shame that a lot of the people in America won't come to church if it's raining and they have a dry, air conditioned car to ride in. Then if service last longer than 2 hours they have to leave. Where is our committment and dedication!!

In Paraguay we need an addition 1000 dollars to put with the 1000 Sherri sent us. That would be a small home missions church. Someone promised 500 but has not come throgh with it. Sometimes things come up and people are not able to give how they wanted to and we understand.
In a jungle settlement that has asked for a church I can buy an adobe house and reform it for around 1500 dollars...of course in more advanced areas.
In our area in a village that needs a church I can get something going for 3500 dollars.

There are more expensive areas...We work in many poverty stricken areas.

There are lots of requests for help in some many places...Brazil is very ripe in it´s own way.

Anything anyone can do is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Sister Alvear

We helped out in the Philippines for maybe 7 years or so! It was an independent work....small world...
