We started the day with a great devotional by Marty, about the giving of yourselves to
God without question. Then went to see and interview some people on the street. Emily and Stephanie are doing some film work for some of the spanish t.v. stations in the sac area. Met some of the families that are going to get a house. Their grandmother is 76 and preparing to be with the Lord - please pray for comfort and no pain. Grandfather is 84 and cannot hear and is broken hearted - please pray for his comfort. Then went to the construction site on the other side of town and met the family. We proceeded to start framing on the concrete slab and at the end of the day had walls up! We just need to put in window and door frames and then roof. Dave, Tory, Collean and Lynn played soccer with the older kids at the end of the day. God bless you all and have a great happy new year. Jim

We Have Arrived!

We have arrived in Ica! HURRAY!! It has taken 2 days to get to our final destination here in Ica and we are all very happy to unpack our bags. WOW what a journey it has been to get here ......The final 6 hour bus ride from Lima Peru to Ica was a very eye opening experience for all of us. The devastation from the earthquake has left many towns in rubble and the people have set up make shift shelters out of whatever they could gather . We have been reminded how grateful and blessed we are.

We will be starting work on our first house this morning Monday........The team is very excited to meet the families we will be building the homes for........We will have more details and pictures this afternoon......Until then, Love and Hugs to all of you from all of us here in Ica

Ica, Peru

Lee sets out for Ica, Peru on Friday! The group will be departing Lakeside Church in Folsom, California on Friday December 28, 2008 at 7:30 p.m. Please pray for God's protection for safe travels and good health for the team. Following two days of travel they plan to arrive in Ica, Peru on Sunday December 30, 2008 around 6:30 p.m.

Thank you so much to our share partners! We invite you to follow along as we come alongside Shelter Our World to develop greater favor for their work in Ica, Peru. In response to the long terms needs of the survivors of the August 15, 2007 earthquake that resulted in more than 60,000 homes being destroyed, our team will be participating in two low cost home construction projects and Christian outreach in the poor neighborhoods throughout Ica, Peru and the surrounding area.
