Base update

DTS Outreach Teams.
This past week we had the DTS from YWAM Heredia, Costa Rica ministering with us.  They joined us in our ministries to the children, senor citizens, Soul Patrol evangelism, Bible distribution and our worship service that is open to the community. We always enjoy hosting DTS teams and make ourselves available to help them achieve the purposes of the DTS outreach.  Our base has a fireplace on the roof which we use frequently with teams. We will be receiving another DTS team from San Jose this week and we look forward to working with them.
This week we are also hosting a Dental Clinic for people in our neighborhood.  A dentist from Minnesota and two other people are with him to conduct the clinic.  We are scheduling 12 people each day for 4 days so they will be helping many people in the short time they are with us.  They also will be purchasing and installing 2 fuel effecient stoves in the community and will bring food to bless them.


Base Construction continues to move forward and we are anticipating that the first floor will be completed by the end of February.  We are excited to be able to use the new facility for the DTS and short term teams that will be coming.  We prayed and asked for donations to help us raise the money needed to construct the second level of the building ($60,000) and we received all we needed thanks to the generosity of several people including a matching gift of $30,000.  We have a team from Yelm, Washington coming in mid February to work for 2 weeks on the construction of the base.  We are praying that they will help speed up the timeline of completion through the volunteer help they will be providing.


Our next DTS begins on February 13 and we have 9-10 students enrolled.  All of them speak English so we will conduct the entire course in English.  We are looking forward to the 5 months of training they will receive and are grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the transformational process that happens to students in the DTS. It is not too late to join us if you are interesting in attending!!!
