House is a project started by Juan and Celestina Aguilar.\u00a0\u00a0 Their desire was for a place to do various ministries including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A place to train widows to sew which will provide them with a means of earning an income;<\/li>\n<li>Host Bible studies;<\/li>\n<li>Do couples&#8217; ministry and Bible Study<\/li>\n<li>Do children&#8217;s ministry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most of the first floor construction was completed in 2012.\u00a0\u00a0 The bathroom (shower stall, toilet stall, and pila (sink) area still need to be completed.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The second floor which we pray will be completed in 2013 will be a large training room and classroom.\u00a0\u00a0 And of course we still have no electricity &#8211; we have to run an extension chord from Juan&#8217;s father&#8217;s house.<\/p>\n<p>However, even with a partially completed structure Juan and Celestina started using the space for sewing training, Bible studies, meetings, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Now for the update
