What’s it all about!

During a trip with the Director of World Outreach for the Advent Christian General Conference, Rev. Tim Fox said that it is relationships that are important.
How true that is!  One of our local Mexican pastors (and a long time friend), Pastor Idelfonso Garcia Luciano, recently suffered what appeared to be a heart attack at 43 [...]

¡Fiesta de Gracias!

¡Fiesta de Gracias!

Actually Thanksgiving Day translates better as the day of the action of giving thanks, but I’ve always liked the fiesta idea.  I don’t know if it qualifies as a tradition but it sure is fun getting together with many of the people who are special to us down here in San Felipe.  This year we [...]

Reminder of Passport Needed for re-entry.

After receiving notification of conflicting information on the date of implementation for the Western Hemisphere Initiative, I did some more checking.  The date for implementation is 1 JUNE 2009. After that date the passport or the passport card is required for re-entry to the United States from Mexico.  As I have said before, Mexico has [...]

GRID CEILING STARTED DOORS ALL INThe Lord keeps advancing the construction quickly.  Paul has finish installing all of the downstairs doors.  The window bars are built and waiting to be installed after the exterior stuccoing is finished.  Within the next two weeks the electrical installation will be started both upstairs and downstairs by two different groups of workers.  A third group will advance the installation of the grid ceiling downstairs.  Brother Leo and Samuel are fine tuning the cement columns (straightening corners and such) so the application of the insulating foam can begin simultaneously by the same group.  The painting of the  two wings is complete and the painting of the first building will begin upon the arrival of the paint this week.  Rejoice, and again I say Rejoice.. as  we continue to give God the Glory for all He has accomplished for His kingdom.

Painting Is Started at Sonshine Hacienda Orphanage!

primer paint 1st flrThanks to Gaylord Anderson’s manpower, GAYLORD ANDERSONpainting has begun.  Gaylord is a retired painter that still yields a very effective roller.  As you can see in the photo of wing “B”, both wings now have a primer coat and we are purchasing the finish coat material this week.  Also the grid ceiling material has been purchased and is on hand to start installation as soon as the painting is complete.  Brother Paul has all of the windows on both levels installed and only lacks a few doors on the first floor.  The second floor is not ready for doors however they are on hand when the time comes.  We have met with the electrician that will be helping with that area and we will meet with the plumber when he returns in a week or so.  As you can tell, the Lord continues to advance the project to complete the orphanage project.  Their are a couple of up coming fund raisers that will help to move towards finishing.  We are so grateful for all of the support both spiritually and financially that is allowing the facility to be a blessing to the San Felipe community and the lives of the children it will impact.

Pioneer Doubles The Living Space Of Pastor’s House

durbis rm 2Under thdurbis rm 1e guidance,  of “Uncle” Al Eberhart the entire Pioneer team put forward an all out effort to close in an area of the Jesus Es El Señor pastor’s house.  The Durbis Ulin family was living in one room of a house they are trying to build as the Lord allows resources.  Pioneer was able to provide the resources for the pastor to finish the block walls in advance of the teams visit.  After the teams arrival they constructed a roof (future floor) for the next room and then closed in the space with a temporary wall, two donated windows and a door.  Pastor Durbis was moved to tears as he saw his living space literally double to accommodate his family in a more comfortable manner.  Thank you Pioneer for making a full-time servant’s life a bit better for him and his family.

Sonshine Hacienda Moves Forward

sheetrock stairsTom and Jon finishing up drainage connectionsPioneer Bible Team members helped advance the progress on the Sonshine Hacienda orphanage during their recent trip to San Felipe.  They helped Paul Korneliussen by leveling one of the two dormitory sewer lines and connecting both two wings sewer drainage pipes to the rest of the system.  Thanks Tom and Jon Owens!  Other members of the team assisted in installing the sheetrock for the stair well to the second deck.  Nick’s and Cameron’s efforts to close in some of the walls which do not have electrical switches or outlets will move the finishing of the second floor to completion.  We appreciate their dedication  toward the Sonshine project.
