They started a church building a couple years ago and have a foundation and some blocks up. They need about 2,000 more and cement to lay them. They can make 30 blocks with a bag of cement. About $10 a bag. Seems a shame not to help so we will try. <\/em><\/p>\n The foundation at Bedzimel<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n At the end of May, we sailed over to take them some food. We went to the house where I park the old rusty Toyota pickup and headed to Les Cayes to buy some tools to work on the church there and buy food to take back to the village. Got back about 6:30 or and cooked supper for a bunch of people. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n We sat out in front of the house, more of a shack really, and ate together. Afterwards pastor John began thanking us and thanking God for sending us. I could only say that we owe God alone for everything we have. I talked about how we can plant a seed and give it water but we can\u2019t make it grow. Only God can. Only God gives and sustains life. All good gifts come from His hand. So we come to Our Creator God with thankful hearts. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The conversation turned to how some people are hypocrites and didn\u2019t have thankful hearts. This brought to my mind how I have to guard against hypocrisy in my own life and how Jesus said we must first take the beam out of our own eye, then we can see clearly to take the speck out of our brothers. Many amens to that. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I thought about how Jesus was present and knew our hearts and thoughts and how we must love our neighbor if we would love God. We talked together for some time till after dark and had a pleasant evening speaking to each other and to our Father God. <\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/justmercy.org\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/B4A6303D-BADC-4D0A-BA4B-D1EF9DC2716E.jpeg\")
