Maria's Big House of Hope

Derek’s Update: One of the donated items he was able to carry over was formula that one of the babies HAD to have to survive--and it could only be purchased in the States. The formula was so desperately needed for the baby that there was much rejoicing when it arrived. On the men’s last flight into Luoyang, all the caulk and wood glue was confiscated. In addition, previously, all the saw blades were confiscated. The saw blades that are purchased in China are not of the same quality, so the men have been warned to be extra careful not to cut off fingers. They will begin building a floor on the roof—to cover the pipes on the roof. When they finish the floor, they will be building the playground on top of the new floor they build—complete with ramps for the children in wheelchairs. The men will spend their days outside working and their evenings making repairs inside MBHOH. What a blessing it is that Derek gets to be there!!!!! THANK YOU for supporting him and the other men on this trip with your prayers.
