Cedar Creek Visits

This week a team came to Choluteca to work with the Gran Comision church from Cedar Creek Church in Ohio. There were 30 people on board. The team spent their time working with Casa Hogar Vida, in Limon at the Clinic and Daycare, visiting the Dump, the prision, and other communities around the area.

With CHV, the team painted the 2nd house, worked on the construction for the 3rd house, cut down a large tree, evangelized in the area, played with the kids, and painted the orphanage house.

Here are some pictures from our week with the team!

One afternoon, a group of us went to visit a lady from the church. Oneda and her family have been going to the Gran Comision church for a while now. They live very far away in a remote area. They have to walk 5 kilometers every night just to go to church. She has 8 children, and she brings them with her every Saturday. The walk is difficult because they live so far away.

We took a team to go to her house to see what she walks every Saturday in the dark with 7 children following and one baby in her arm. Her family is very poor, and she has trouble providing for all of them. Her husband is sick and is not at the house so she is left to take care of the children alone.
