Raising a roof


What would a roof mean to this building?  More importantly what would a roof mean to children who's parents are gone, or are unable to feed their family?  In a few words, Home, safety, hope, food, education, and a chance to know the Savior.  That is exactly what the dream and vision for this home for children has been since day one.  God has placed this project on the hearts of this group and we are blessed beyond measure to have seen God  provide for His work.  We are now ready to raise the roof.
Tonight as I sit in a heated living room watching TV with my daughter I know I am blessed.  The question is why did God place us in a land of plenty and others in a place of desperation.  The answer is simple.  To help others by giving back what God has given to us. 

We have just received quotes for material to complete the roof.  Materials alone will cost between $34,000 and $53,000.  This will be the largest expense of the project to date, but what is the cost of hope for a child walking the dirt streets of Honduras tonight.  What is it worth to give a meal to a crying little girl laying on a dirt floor in the mountains above lake Yajoa.  How valuable is it to give a dose of Worm Medicine to the little barefoot boy walking the back alley's of Pena Blanca.  The true and honest answer is priceless.  None of us may be able to write a $56,000 check but we all could give something.  As we come to Easter and the time of year we celebrate our saviors resurrection, shouldn't we sacrifice in His name for His glory?  If you have been blessed by God and would like to help give to those who are struggling please consider this ministry.  100% of money given to this organization will go directly to helping people physically and sharing the Gospel of Christ. 

Your donation will help with a race against time.  Every day we are in construction is a day that children are without a home. A day without a meal for hungry children, or a day without chance of education.  Please consider a donation to the Carpenters Heart to help care for the least of these.

You can send checks to PO Box 1220  Weaverville NC 28787 or donate via pay pal.  Just think what 50 people giving $50 would do to help raise a roof.  Thank you for your time and heart.
