There are a lot of cement bags and bricks being thrown around these days at Abaana’s Hope. We are excited to show you the progress of our current building projects, a missionary home and a guest house!

We are excited that these houses will provide more people the opportunity to work and live among our community at Abaana’s Hope. For those that have come on short term, or long term mission trips with Abaana’s Hope, imagine not having to travel those terrible roads every single day! How amazing it will be to allow more hours in the day for the gospel to be spread. How incredible it will be for even more relationship to be built among visitors and long term missionary families.

Chase and I have already experienced HUGE benefits by living at Abaana’s Hope and cannot wait for more people to have the same opportunity that we have to be able to love and encourage the Acholi people in the Abaana’s Hope community throughout the day.

The footings have already been dug. Concrete has been poured and now the men are in the processes of building the foundation walls! We hope you enjoy these exciting pictures of the foundation being established at the two new homes! 😉
