We have been doing well here. Our fall and first semester at school were full of blessings and changes. Makarios was able to start construction on the land that will be for our new buildings. We have a new entrance, drainage system, a wall around the property as well as having the land prepared for the new buildings. This new land will be very beneficial in the coming years at Makarios and allow us to grow! Getting this stage completed has been a lot of work and planning for Darren and several other Mak staff. It has been great to see things come together and are excited about the growth of Makarios. Makarios is continuing to fundraise so we can start the first building.
In October, we had a great week with a team from Faircreek Church (our home church in Ohio). They brought a medical and work team. It was wonderful to be able to spend time with them and work alongside of our friends. About 400 patients were treated during this week! And numerous work projects were completed. It was nice to have people that we know be here and hang out with us for the week.
