New roof, New nature

Mario and Dunia have three children living at home, three more children live at Heart to Heart Children's village, two passed away, and one that is on her own and expecting her first child in February. These are the children that I am aware of and that I have gotten to know during my time in Honduras. Mario's family lives in Las Flores just down a path from Marvin's parents home. They are the poorest family in this village because they have no family nearby and no land of their own to work on. 

Mario's house has one bedroom, one storage room, and another room used for cooking. All of these rooms were covered with a rusty, leaking metal roof. This caused their dirt floor to become muddy and with no places for the children to be, they simply crawled, walked, played in the mud.

Now they have a beautiful shiny roof that is guaranteed to last 20 years. Mario worked along side Wil, a great friend from Washington state, and Marvin to remove the old roof and put on the new one. 

 

"Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy."
Ephesians 4: 21-24 

Our hope is that Mario and his family will accept not just a new roof but also a new nature from God.
