Consulting With Ohio Church That Just Built In South Africa

Last month, July 2007, some 500 faithful left their home church, Crossroads Community Church of Cincinnati, Ohio, and flew to Johannesburg, South Africa to build some homes for the needy for the second year in a row. I discovered this group while reading one of the newspapers I read daily from South Africa. Here was this picture of a team of Americans building a home with typical wood studs. At first glance I had to double check which newspaper I was reading. I thought for sure I was reading about an Amor group building a home in Mexico. Check for yourself below:




















The caption below the picture read, "Cincinatti Kids. The Crossroads Community Church from the Ohio riverside city is working with their sister church, Charity and Faith Mission in Mamelodi East, to empower the community. They are building eight houses which will all be completed by the next week. Getting stuck in are, from left, Americans Doug Striker, Brennan Hill, Jamie Kallmeyer and Micheal Keller.

Steve Horrex has already made a couple calls to the leaders of this trip and is consulting with them about their experiences. I thought it would be interesting to link their trip to my blog. Below are several links about their recent trip this past July.

Steve Horrex said the leaders of this trip are eager to share about their numerous experiences in South Africa. I look forward to sharing more about this as we continue converse with them.
