Thanksgiving Week Happenings

This week, we expanded the egg farm by 4,000 additional birds.  In the pouring rain and some of our crew working long, long hours to be ready, we installed the cages and got the watering systems up and running.  This left us with another problem though.  The part of the building where there were no chickens has been serving as our meeting place for church on Sunday.

Previously, Rodger had talked to the Mayor of the community about using an old abandoned clinic for our Sunday services.  At that time, he didn't see fit to grant that request.  At the 11th hour, though, he came through!  We now have a place to meet on Sundays.  Praise God for this!  We worked hard to clean it up and get it ready to use on Sunday.



While preparing for our new chickens, it's been necessary to lay some pipe for drainage when we clean the floors of the coop.  The workers started to dig the ditch and lay the pipe.  Then, the heavy rain started and last 5 days.  The ground underneath the structure started to erode and one wall of our building is starting to collapse.  It's another headache, but God has been faithful to us, and we know that in this too, He will provide all we need.
