Extreme Home Makeover - Project 1

In November 2006 New Covenant began its first project of Extreme Home Makeovers here in Peru. The project was for a woman named Martha and her two children, Jason & Jessica. Martha is a faithful church member and servant of the Lord, as are her children. Her husband passed away 8 years ago, and she has been working hard to provide for her family ever since. She has tuberculosis and other health problems that have been getting worse because she works so hard. NCCM decided not only to tear down and completely rebuild her home, but also to include a store front for a source of income for this family. On Thursday of this week, we all yelled out "Move that bus!" and Martha, Jason & Jessica saw their new home for the first time. Here are our pictures of the house and store which used to be one room separated and roofed by deteriorating cardboard, where the only walls to the home belonged to neighboring houses. The Lord has blessed her for her faithfulness and had favor on the entire family. It made us all cry to witness her humility and gratitude as she walked into her dream!
