Sheqeras Construction
My name is Torsten and I have been a part of the
construction team this week along with Isaac, Allie, Meagan and Dr. E. In the morning, we have been working in a
village called Sheqeras (Shay-chair-ess) with a couple of the locals there. The main builders name is Mondi and the two
other guys are Zero and Theisty. The
project we worked on was building a wall for the new church plant in Sheqeras. We have done everything from moving cement
blocks to picking up bits of trash in the yard.
Our team leader, Amos, knows the locals very well and it was quite a
treat to see him interacting with the workers so well. On Wednesday I had the privilege of taking
out the trash from the church yard. This
meant loading up a trailer full of garbage, which was hitched to a tractor that
sounded as if it would explode any moment, and then driving with a local named
Gleris to the outskirts of the village to dump the trash at a dump. Well, we have finished the walls for the
church and it has been such a great time working together, and seeing God work
through us in Sheqeras. In the
afternoons, we help with the two ESL classes.
The ladies are working with the High School students with Ruth, Brynne
and Dandan. Isaac S. and I have
volunteered with Alison, Alex and Salina.
