Development of Centre November 2017 to March 2019


CONQUERING THE NEW LAND
GOD HAS PLACED IN OUR HANDS. 

Thank you Lord for opening new doors, oportunities and the many blessings
you are pouring out over your servants.
It is our prayer that much seed is sown spiritually in the children
on the Island of Ometepe as well as many other areas surrounding the Island. 
It is my prayer that through this, many children form an intimate relationship
with our Heavenly Father. 


We thank God for leading us to this
beautiful property, and for the
many children He will be
ministering to in this place. 





In the month of November 2017, 
Yesenia, myself as well as Pastor Wilber's son
helped us clean up and organize the toys
to be able to begin training many teachers 
and minister to many
children on Ometepe Island.

Pastor Wilber's son helped us clean up the seats for future courses with teachers. 
Thanks to my wife Yesenia, my son Emmanuel
we got everything organized and cleaned
And then my son said: "Time to go play ball Daddy!"

Even my son Emmanuel
helped his mom  


When my parents came in January 2018, we spent
a lot of time discussing
best way to make use of the space available
inside the center — at Ometepe, Nicaragua.

And then we took out the tools. — at Ometepe, Nicaragua.


Toys had to be sorted, cleaned and organized



Good toys were packed in boxes
and given away to local
Sunday schools in the
churches. 





Since this side of the building will be used
for teaching children and training
adults, we needed to
take down this shelving. 




Dad already had in mind a use for these
beautiful pieces of wood used previously
for the kitchen.



We completely cleaned up this side of the
building ready for our first courses
with the churches and of course
I would like to have childrens
worship times here. 





Mom did some touch up painting
on rusty gates and screens as well as did
some sewing for privacy curtains.





Mom spent quite a few hours
sewing material bought in Moyogalpa
right here on this table
.

While Mom worked on the painting and Dad on the planks of wood, I was busy
digging out this planter made out of concrete use it for something interesting.




After spending quite a bit of time digging and refilling with some gravel, we turned this planter into a place to store tools!
I was amazed to see all the tools fit in
and even a 10 foot ladder!


One of Dads bright ideas was to use one
of the planks as an extra security measure
to prevent anything from
walking away!

During the course of our discussions
and planning, we decided
to turn the wooden planks
into new kitchen
counters on the other side of the
building. 





With Dads craftmenship, these beautiful planks of wood were turned into a very nice
counter space for the new kitchen. 



Our friendly neighbour also gave us
a good deal on this bar and the stools
so we can use the area for eating
even when guests come. As you can see
also, Dad used the wooden planks
for shelving right next to the fridge.





At one point during my parents visit in January
and February 2018, Yesenia and
Emmanuel decided to come along and help
with the planning of the center.




We spent many long discussions
about how the new bathroom will look
for those who come to receive courses
or when we hold childrens activites.
To date (April 24th, 2019) we are still
planning how to lay out the future
facility. 



When Emmanuel heard the exciting news
of a new bathroom area, he immediately began picking up the rake and cleaning
the leaves up to prepare for the new building!




He also got out his hammer to help
Daddy fix up the bathroom!


He still talks about helping his
Uncle Herman when he comes to
oversee the building of this new project.



Please be praying so that God
provides the funds to change
this outhouse into
better facilities for students
and children alike to use. 



Mom had a very busy trip in January and February 2018. After giving baking classes to the ladies in the churches of Ometepe and helping with painting, sewing and planning with the centre, she said: That's it, I need
to rest!

About a 5 min. drive from the Glory to God Church, we had the priviledge of meeting another 75 children in a church located on Km 108 of the Pan American Highway, going towards Rivas.  — in  El Rosario, Rivas, Nicaragua . This time my Puppet Pasty, the Porrista, had the priviledge of helping me give the class. Unfortunately, I couldn't let you see her in action since we had few workers to take pictures.    —  in  El Rosario, Rivas, Nicaragua .
