How would you like to have to go outside to get from your kitchen and living area to your bedroom?
If you were living at an elevation of 10300 feet? (Think always pretty chilly if not downright cold!)
Where there is no heat in the rooms?
If you were living above the church building where you serve as evangelist?
Such is the situation for the preacher and his wife in Tuquerres in southern Colombia. The church assembles on the first floor, and the second and third floors provide living space. The problem is that the living space is in three separate sections and you have to go outside to go from one part to another. The living situation is much less than desirable, but thanks be to God, this young couple is helping stabilize and grow the church. The local church has grown from a handful to 25-30 persons. The need is apparent, but the small local church cannot handle this financial need alone.
The area that is currently unroofed can be covered (thus providing protected movement between the three sections), plus an interior bathroom added to the church building, plus the auditorium area walled off from the foyer to help avoid outside drafts, all for about $3000.
If you can help with even a small part of this, you can make out checks to Church of Christ–Bob Young Missions, marked for “Bob Young-Tuquerres”, and mail to PO Box 1004, McAlester, OK 74502. You can contact me for more information.
