"For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully."
-Romans 12:4-8
We are so thankful that many "parts" of Christ's body are working together to accomplish a project that God laid on Marvin's heart years ago. Marvin always wanted to give back to his parents and provide for his family in Las Flores. Now with the Lord's help and incredible support from others, construction has begun on a new home for his parents. The changes in their home are as follows:
- Dirt floor to concrete floor
- Wooden frame with rusted roof to metal frame and roof
- Outhouse/bucket to indoor toilet
- Shutters to windows
- No electricity to overhead lights in each room
- Wood slats for walls to concrete walls

- Improved sanitation and health for family members
- In receiving a generous gift, they may learn to give to others
- Provide temporary work for Miguel (head of construction) and his helper
- The Ramos family will experience the love of Christ and come to recognize him as their Lord
