Out with the Old

This is the old chapel. We heard so many stories of people who accepted Christ through the church that was housed in it. Then there were those that remember a school being in it and marching up the long road to get to school. The last story we heard was granny bringing her grandson to the clinic for help.  So as your u can see it has been well used over the years. It’s thought that it’s been here 100 years.

One of the hopes was that while we were here the building would come down. It has fed many a termite over the years.  Howard didn't really feel up to the task so Kevin Pinter took on the task. He’s a hard worker. He had it down in three days. Howard did help a little. They hooked up a chain to the truce and pulled the roof down.


Kevin started by taking the tin of the outside. That tin will be offered to the workers here, and they are excited to get it.






Everything was sorted and the workers will choose what they want.



Today all you see is the rubble of the foundation.  Mud bricks !  They just crumble in your hand.   Dan is so excited about it being down and is trying to decide how to best use the area. Well, that is how the last few days have been spent.

Is this what you tried to show me on the video? This is crazy and how quickly it was torn down and cleaned up is incredible. You are all doing great work there and I'm so glad to be apart of watching your progress!!
