The work of many hands but most importantly the work of many prayers

As the last official work team of the summer left Friday I had to realize how much has been accomplished. Not so much in the buildings that have progressed but more importantly in the lives of both those that live here at CVE and those that have passed through only for a time. It is the work of the Lords hands and we continue to stand amazed as we have the privilege to see His hand at work. Friday after the group left I was out leveling out some gravel on the road that leads to the side entrance and had the 4 girls that were not able to go to swimming lessons in the tractor with me. As I went back and forth leveling the rock they were singing "Cristo me ama" (Jesus loves me) to there hearts content. It made me reflect back on the purpose of what we do here and on what is important. The Lord is building lives that desire to serve Him and we see his work progressing daily despite the distractions that the enemy throws our way. That is why it is so vital to us that you continue to lift up this work to the Father so that His name may be glorified, not the work of mans hands. Pray not only for the work here at CVE but also for your Church and for yourselves that we may have a unified body of believers that supports one another. Thanks to all that have shared a prayer, a talent, a week, a gift, or in a hundred other ways with us in the past. May the Lord draw you closer to Himself each day.



As an update to our current projects I am including the pictures of the church and group home. Many hands have made light work.
