A New Home for Sanel

Sanel is a carpenter who has been working for the mission for several years.  He lost his home in the earthquake and since that time he and his family have been living in a tin shack. 
For the past few months we have been building concrete homes, but Kyrk was wanting to experiment with other building materials, to see how they compare.
Over the past 4 days Kyrk, along with our team of carpenters, have been building Sanel's new house with steel studs and dense glass.  These have been very enjoyable days for Kyrk and he has really enjoyed working with the guys and building this home.  They are hoping to finish the house tomorrow.
We are praising God for the safety that He has blessed the men with this week, and Sanel and his family are praising God for a new home.
