Update on Tools

Shelly and I will complete Spanish school tomorrow at 12:00 pm. Be thinking about us between 10:05-10:15 am tomorrow as our names are called out at our graduation ceremony. We are excited about it! We will fly to Honduras on Saturday and will begin working bright and early Sunday morning. We are eager to see what God has in store for us next. We will be returning to the States October 6th for 10 days for our fundraiser dinner and to visit friends and family.

I am also including the most up-to-date email below from Mac Hughes who has put together (along with Mike Hayes) our first team of men to come down in February to build the first house at Las Palmas Refuge. Mac needs your help in paying for the tools which are necessary to build the house in 7 days. Remember, any amount counts! Is it worth it? What a difference all of us can make if we just give a little. God blesses in amazing ways!

Please pray for Shelly and my safety over the next few days and be sure to take a look at Mac’s email below.

Berry’s Chapel is opening a commercial Home Depot account for this effort. This will benefit all groups that travel to Las Palmas to do work in the coming years. Anyone that wants to participate in this additional effort can make donations payable to Berry’s Chapel Church of Christ – Las Palmas Tools and mail to:

Mac Hughes
308 Monticello Road
Franklin, Tennessee 37064

Folks can review the list we put together to see exactly what these donations will purchase. It is my goal to raise the necessary funds, make the purchase from the Home Depot where James Lynn works, and deliver all of this to Healing Hands for a shipment at the end of October ’06. I will need to have everything delivered to Healing Hands two weeks prior to shipment.

The commitment that James has at Home Depot will allow us to get about $14,200 retail value for right at $11,500.

Thanks!!!
