The materials here are for some simple benches. From here they traveled as far as the road leads then were hand carried for miles into the mountains to the remote church at Bataille. Fairly simple yes? These are the first benches ever in this location, so from sitting on the dirt floor of the church these benches were quite something. A few wood posts had been set in the floor with something like a 2x4 attached so the children had something to work with during school, but a real bench!
The chair I sat in this morning while at church sure felt comfortable, hum. Just one way donations are making a difference in simple ways. Oh, by the way, a church from Kansas not only provided for these but even sent a team to help with the building of them.
What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed, but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. James 2:14-17
