June 17
Today was a special day for our Mission Team. We worshiped with our sisters and brothers at Cristo Rey Church in Santa Ana. We were welcomed by the congregation and invited to sit next to Cristo Rey members. I sat with Ana Luz a lovely young woman and her mother Esperanza. Ana Luz and her family were the first recipients of a Habitat home through the Partners in Faith project at Cristo Rey. She told me that it was a dream come true to be in this new home. Ana Luz her husband Jovanny and their children Jovanny and Wilber are familiar faces for our team. They have worked at previous Habitat builds.
After the service we shared a delicious meal with our friends at Cristo Rey. It was an opportunity to reconnect and relax. Ana Luz, Gladis and Ana Gloria all members of Cristo Rey, took us on a tour of the historic city center of Santa Ana. We had fun shopping at Super Selecto (a supermarket) for snacks. We are excited to begin working on a new Habitat home tomorrow morning. We will be the first team to work on the site for Gladis and her family.
1 Chronicles 29:16 "Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you."
