On Again, Off Again, On Again

The PEW project has been revived! I think. About a month or so ago I put out a plea for help to build some pews for Hope Baptist Church in Sorocaba, SP, Brazil. It wasn't long before a friend of mine offered to pay for all of the materials necessary to build twenty pews. I was ecstatic to say the least.

I began to scour the countryside looking for willing participants to help with the project and found six! All was going well until one by one they began to fall by the wayside for various reasons.

I resigned myself to the fact that I would have to hire the job done by a Brazilian. Not necessarily a bad option but not the one that I wanted. I like showing Americans our work in Sorocaba. Having them participate helps them to know how to pray for us and also might lead to them coming back to Brazil as missionaries!

A week ago a young man approached me at church asking about the project. I told him that it had been canceled. But with his interest I began to think that maybe I shouldn't be so hasty. So I began to beat the bushes again for help. So far I have five people interested. So, let's see how the on again, off again, trip turns out this time! If interested the trip is going to take place at the end of September, first part of October. Drop me a note.
