Month: July 2018

Mission teams from two South Carolina cities, York and Greenville, joined forces at La Familia during late June and early July for the primary purpose of building a SoundStage for the “Praise Band” that plays and sings as a part of Sunday Morning Worship Services.

Once erected, the wooden structure was sanded, stained and carpeted. All wiring for electricity and microphones was routed beneath the stage floor. (See Photograph)

Pictured below working the construction project are Kevin Duncan of York, SC and Kevin Landmesser of Greenville.

Joining in to assist Robbie Hamilton of Greenville, are Juan Francisco (director of the casa hogar), Chuy (volunteer) and Josue (La Familia resident).

Led by Steve DePeder, the 18-person mission team from Saint Andrews Episcopal in Downers Grove, IL erected a much-needed carport-like structure to house the casa’s two vans and the new little “four-seater” Chevrolet Spark. (See Attached Photographs)

The project began with the team moving all of Silvia’s peach trees that were beginning to blossom, to a new home across the side yard and digging a dozen or so post holes to house the support poles that were set in concrete. Next the cross-beams were erected followed with fastening metal roofing material to the steel cross beams.
