Construction missionary house


Right now at Casa Semear, besides the daily work with the children & adolescents, we´re also busy with something else: the construction of a house for missionaries and short-term volunteers in the backyard of our property. 




Almost two years ago, we started the construction of this house, which is being built little by little, according to the donations that arrive...


Starting the construction process


  
The first floor ready...




Second floor ready!

For us, who have witnessed this construction process since the very beginning, it´s great to slowly see the construction site being transformed into a beautiful house; there are so many details and there´s so much work to do, but God is faithful and provides in exactly everything we need to be able to offer a nice and comfortable `home´ soon to the missionaries and volunteers who come to work with us at Casa Semear.

This missionary house will also, indirectly, help us in the work with children & adolescents: the community centre is a three floor building; but right now, we´re using only two floors for the activities with the children, because the third floor serves as living space for one of our missionaries. Once the missionary house is ready, we´ll be able to de-occupy the third floor of the community centre, which we then want to transform into a nice, creative lounge space for our adolescents.



There´s still a lot of work to do, but we are very excited by what God has been doing and giving us so we can do a better job in working with the children & adolescents He has put on our path.

Excitement!

We’re hoping to finish the missionary house this year, maybe it´ll be ready by July or so!
