An Evangelical Pastor and the Leader of a Catholic Church

It sounds like the start of a funny story, you know the one about the... But in Rio Frio, it's a story about two men, one the Leader of a Catholic Church and the other the Pastor of an Evangelical Church.  These two men are passionate about the gospel or good news of Jesus and also helping the people in their community.  They put aside their religious differences and formed a committee to help those in need in their community.   The committee consists of members from both churches.  They looked for ways to help others.  The pastor of the evangelical church mentioned that his congregation prayed for help.  They prayed for over 5 years.  That's were God allowed us to be part of the story.  This week we have been able to help build houses with the community.  El Salvadorian people and us Canadians working together to build 8 houses so far and we should be able to complete 2 more tomorrow. We are a team of about 50, mostly El Salvadorians and 19 Canadians. It's an amazing story and I pray that it doesn't end any time soon!
