Rancho Ebenezer Team

A concrete floor - it’s a lasting gift that we’re privileged to provide in Honduras, and today the whole team was able to do that for a family in the area.

It was an extra special experience, because seven of the teen boys from the ranch joined the project for the morning, and their efforts got things off to a great start!

In case you’ve never mixed concrete by hand, a batch is five 5-lb buckets of sand, five of gravel, 100 lbs of cement, and 8-10 gallons of water. It took about 8 1/2 batches for the house, with lots of shoveling and stirring and toting that kept us all very busy!

Ken is the master concrete layer, and the end result will bring the family health benefits for years to come.

We were happy to get a little acquainted with this precious family as we worked. (Nancy was especially good at making friends with their little daughter!)

Before we left, we prayed together and gave them a new Bible to bless their home. Please keep them in your prayers as well - they’re expecting baby #3 soon!

A long day ... a tiring day ... and a very joyous day!
