Day 8 – Cartagena

by Geoff Gentry on March 27, 2010

  After breakfast,  we sat around the tables and shared.  Several of the staff shared thankfulness for our coming.  We are grateful to have come and served. It was a morning full of emotions.  We were blessed by the Proyecto Libertad Staff.  Working with them was just like working with family.  The Lord has built [...]

Day 6 – My Sick Day & Cell Group

by Geoff Gentry on March 25, 2010

Wednesday morning, Thom, Vic, Jordan, Kyle and I went over to some land that the Mission just bought.  We worked with Ricardo, Jorge, Luis and others on digging holes for columns. Brick walls will be built between the columns.  The ground was tough. So we broke out the electric demolition hammer that Thom brought.  It [...]

Day 4 – Floor #1 & Conference Day 2

by Geoff Gentry on March 23, 2010

With the latrines setting up, we started the floors.  Giving a nice concrete floor to a family is a huge blessing.  They are easy to clean and they make the family feel more open to having people over.  The first floor we did was for a small house right across from the mission.  We set [...]

by Geoff Gentry on March 22, 2010

We divided our team of 20 into three teams. Each team had a leader or leaders who had done this before.  Plus we had the help of staff members and workers from the mission.  Each team dug a 5’x 5’ x 5’ hole.  One of the teams broke the record for fastest dig (set by [...]

Day 2 – Resort, Relaxation and Adjustment

We were very thankful that the boat was fixed and we were able to go to Cocoliso Resort.  We went there last year.  It is a beautiful island getaway.  It has a great pool, good food, hammocks in the shade and many other things. It is a blessing to be able to rest and relax.  [...]
