Visitor Center Progress


When St Luke's arrived in February, the visitor's center had one completed floor...









 

But with the right supervision...










And a little back muscle...









And the right hired hands...









And plenty of water breaks...







Progress was made!

New Developments in Lechería

 
A new source of clean drinking water has come to the community! 

 A filter system and storage tank were installed with the help of the Texas Baptist Men organization who have been working with the community (www.texasbaptistmen.org) and Just Water (www.justwater.me). The project was finished and tested when the St Luke group visited in February. Your donations to water and sanitation projects help pay for much needed projects like this. Thank you all for your work for and support of the people of Lecheria and the SHCJ mission there!




  


What is it?

Yes, it's a highway!!! A new by-pass is being built right on the east edge of Lechería! An overpass will cross the current access road to the community. Will there be access directly from the highway to the entrance of Lechería? We don't know yet.  How will it affect life in the community? Hopefully, positively. Let's  pray that it does.
