We hosted a pot-luck at our site and invited fellow SOWERs from another project (Care Center) in Lake Wales. Had some great fellowship and lots of fun.

Another task we accomplished was the installation of insulation in the roof of the kitchen work area. Don stopping for another photo op.

This a picture of the fish farm which shows students how to construct and start a fish farm. The tanks are filled with fish and all the water is used to water and fertilize the garden and the greenhouse.

We are truly blessed and we thank God.
We thank you for your interest and your support to help us be involved in service for “The beautiful FEET”.
Please continue your prayers for our health and our ability to continue with our SOWER’s projects.
Love Don and Jenny

H.E.A.R.T. What an Experience!

April 8th, 2009 Don No comments

H.E.A.R.T. is a place where missionaries come to be trained before they go to third world counties.  The simulated under-developed coutry village and farm is quiet an experience.   Not unlike most of our projects we work, H.E.A.R.T was again an inspiration.  March was our second tome at HEART, the first was February 2008.

Here is a pictorial review of just a few of the things we where involved with on the project.
