Romelo Valesquez leads the 12x12 Love Project construction team. He is a dedicated hard worker, but more than that he believes in the vision and purpose of the ministry.
One day as Brock & Kerrie Johnson were at their house visiting, they were struck by the difficult living conditions. Despite having worked buidling homes for others for the last year,
Romelo had never once asked us to build a home for himself. And many of the families we were building for were living in very similar conditions to his own. As we talked through this,
we believe God gave us the idea to allow Romelo to build his own house as the next 12x12 family!
Romelo and Ruth have 6 kids, some which live with them and some which are grown and out of the house. It is very exciting for us to help these friends of ours who have been building these
homes for families for over a year now, while going home and sleeping in a small tin shack.
At the end of November, we had a team here from Journey Church and we all celebrated together as Romelo and his wife Rosa were welcomed into their new home!
