The First Baptist Church of Saltillo spent the week of Thanksgiving here volunteering their time and skills on some construction jobs. The week was split between two groups. Pictured above is the first group that arrived for the first part of the week. They started their time on a roof of a house near camp. This home has been sitting untouched for almost a year. The homeowner had just recently gotten his grant money. He was extremely happy to finally get a roof on his home.
FBC Saltillo's first group also blessed another family with their skills installing Hardi planks (siding) on a home. This family also just received their grant money and are finally able to finish up their home as well. They are hopeful to be out of their FEMA trailers and in their home for Christmas. They are so grateful to all of the volunteers who have built their home from ground up.
Oh, one of these volunteers did some electrical work on two different homes.
There are a lot of families in this same situation; waiting on grant money to rebuild their home. We are hopeful that volunteers will keep coming to help rebuild these homes, and most importantly, share the love of Jesus with those devastated by the storm.
