Now, let’s take a look at the interior looking across the
second floor sections.
We left the complex to go to the headquarters of Tapestries
of Life Ministries to get orientation on what we were going to do Sunday. We
were first going to a church that was putting on an Easter play. This play was
going to be presented as a ministry activity for the motorcycle clubs of the El
Paso. After the service there was going to be a
cookout, we would have lunch. After lunch, Pastor Steve came over to us to talk
about what was going on for the cyclists after lunch. He pointed out to us the
lead guy of one of motorcycle clubs. He told us that he was a personal friend
of President George Bush. When President Bush came to El
Paso, he would stay at this guy’s place. After this we
headed to Juarez to spend about 1 ½ hours shopping at a
place called “The Market.” We were told
as we were traveling that when the van was parked that merchants would flock
over to the van. They would try to sell us various types of jewelry. One being
a necklace that would have a grain of rice in a vial with the name of your
choice painted on the piece of rice. After our time was up, we traveled back
across the boarder to El Paso, then
on to Fabens to re-cross back into Mexico
to return to the orphanage site. We ate dinner which was prepared by one of the
staff that was an orphan herself several years ago. After our authentic Mexican
dinner, Pastor Steve led devotions for the evening. He told us about the vision
for the orphanage, how he got inspired to create this place for the orphan
Mexican children. Pastor Steve went over Mark 10:14 – 24. After the devotional time was over, Steve
told us what are task would be for Monday.
We were going to put as much as possible aluminum roof on an old church
that they purchased to use at first for a dormitory for the volunteer work
teams that come to serve our Lord in building this orphanage.
