As the Crossroads construction team opened the doors of La Roca, we started examining the work that needed to be done. The two biggest projects were building the inside of a kitchen and all the electrical work in the church. As we started making many frustrating trips to Home Depot and local hardware stores, we soon discovered our original plans were as good as trash. Thus began our makeshift blueprints.
We proceeded to strip out every wire in this two-story church so we could install better wires, fans, lights, switches, etc. As well, the project of building the inside of an uneven kitchen proceeded. As our blood, sweat, tears and frustration were put in this house of God, our hearts and attitudes began to change.
We soon were joined by 10+ male members of La Roca to help us in our endeavors to construct their place of worship. It grew to be a special opportunity for the men of Crossroads and La Roca to gather and work as one under God. We had the opportunity to ecourage the La Roca men to have a love for their church and help it succeed in reaching the community of Irapuato.
Tremendous fellowship was shared and hearts were impacted as two different cultures clashed to work as one for the glory of God. As seeds are planted in people's hearts, nails, cabinets, wire, lights, and fans were planted so the mission of God could be done. Our great God has used and will use His great church, La Roca, to impact and change the great city of Irapuato.

The kitchen looks great, but the fact that men and changing men to impact THEIR own church and city is the greatest of all. Thanks for a great week and get back safe and maybe rested.
