As many of you know that Yoel is one of our first Technology Graduates in carpentry. Last year we reported to you that we as a ministry are helping Yoel in building a business. So we want to update you in how he is doing. During the last 4 months he has developed a brochure, business cards, and contracts with a letterhead. Now he is out knocking on doors in asking people if they need any carpentry work done. Many have asked Yoel for estimates in building kitchen cabinets, beds, closets, desks, and so much more. The hard part like any business is closing on the deal by signing his contract and putting a deposit down. Many have asked for a loan in which we have been teaching him, not to accept loans. So Yoel signed his first contract seen in the top photo. In the 3rd photo is the finished product. How appropriate in making a cross when he is a Christian, is supported by a Christian Ministry and his business literature has quotes from the Bible. Since then Yoel has signed two more contracts and has finished the orders in building small tables for all those back home. Bob Armstrong gave us an idea while we were home as seen in the last photo. This table is a TV table, or table for sitting in bed, serving tray, and so much more. He sold 3 of these to our Elmira College team and the girls are using them to do homework on. We are promoting this table to all those who live in the Chemung/Steuben Counties of NY. The tables are selling for $25.00 and you can purchase them by writing to us mjgm2004@yahoo.com and they can be delivered from Honduras by our visiting teams. Yoel’s goal is to build his business so he can either rent or purchase land so he can move out of our garage. As of now he is very happy to be so blessed in doing what God has called him to do. Seven years ago he entered our youth group and we planted seed that is turning into fruit.
