THE POWER OF PRAYER FOR LOS ALGODONES

The past year has had a series of ups and downs for the village of Los Algodones. With the help of the Samaritan Foundation and their many generous sponsors, water had been brought up to the village by pipeline for the first time in over 60 years of existence. A parcel of land adjacent to the village was purchased for the construction of homes but this plan was met with resistance. The land was zoned as “Tourism” so through negotiations with local authorities, a school, a medical clinic and a church only was allowed to be built on this site. During the past year, work has progressed steadily and nearing completion, but what about the homes?

Construction of church nears completion

With fervent prayer and a lot of waiting we knew that with God all things are possible in His time. While we saw only roadblocks, God in His infinite wisdom was working on the hearts of key government officials and those who had influence in significant decision making during this time and who have since become followers of Christ. Praise the Lord!
The final piece of the puzzle came with the help of a popular, local TV personality who invited Elio Madonia to appear on his program. On November 8, 2008 just a few weeks after the airing of this show and more meetings with the authorities, permission was granted to build homes in Los Algodones!

Construction began two days later on Monday, November 10th and will continue until all the homes are complete and their existing ones are torn down. Please join us with effective, fervent prayer thanking God for this miracle.
