David & Liticia's Family with the Oden's, and friends from Church on the Way

Sponsored By: Chuck and Vicki Oden, Lake City, FL

 

Chuch and Vicki Oden visited Guatemala in September 2010 with their church, Church on the Way, from Lake City, FL.

 

Their daughter's and their families had raised money to build a house for a family living in extreme poverty...  so Chuck and Vicki were prepared to bring this good news to a family during their visit.

 

They chose the family of David and Liticia.  They live in a cornstalk hut out in the cornfields of Magdelena, Milpas Altas.  They have no water, dirt floors, and a small hut of a home that sleeps 7 people.

 

When the Oden's brought the news to this family, they were elated!  They explained that this was a dream come true, and an answer to prayers.  While they have always desired to build a home, they explained that everytime they save a little bit of money, something happens and they are forced to use it.

 

The examples they gave were their son's illness, their parents getting sick, and a nephew that got sick.  In each case, they used what little they had saved to pay for medical care or medicine.

 

It was a pleasure to show them God's blessing for their unselfishness and patience.

 

In early December, with some friends in town from Savannah Christian Church, Savannah, GA, we celebrated the opening of their new home!!  We prayed, sang, and ate together during this wonderful celebration of God's provision for this family.

 

Thank you Oden Family for your willingness to bless a family with needs far greater than we can imagine.  Their lives will forever be changed!!
