Calvary CRC at the Rehab Center


Have you seen the movie "Holes"? If you have you can imagine the scene at the Forjando Nuevos Destinos Rehab center in Terrazas del Valle. But instead of holes six feet deep these holes are about twelve feet deep. What are they doing, digging for water? Buried treasure? New outhouses? No, these are footings for the new two story building for the Rehab Center. Because the lot where the center is located has tons (literally) of fill dirt, in order to build a strong foundation, the footings have to go down into hard ground. Eight men from Calvary CRC in Holland, Michigan, arrived Saturday night to help with the project. They are working along side of the guys from the rehab center, under the direction of Paulino Luna, an Elder at the Cristo, Arca de Salvacion (Christ the Ark of Salvation) Church, who is also a cement mason.

The group is staying at the Cristo, Arca de Salvacion church in near by Francisco Villa. On Sunday morning they worshiped with the Arca church. They ate a taco lunch at the church, took a tour of some of the other churches and missions in Tijuana, and spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at the Geurink's house. In the evening they worshiped with the men from the rehab center at the Dios Viviente (The Living God) church located on the other half of the same property.

Presently the rehab center has about 35 men, it has had more than 45. The new facilities are designed to hold 150 men. The construction will be done in stages, replacing the current temporary buildings, as it progresses.
