Thrivent Builds 2008!
To date more than 400 volunteers have participated in building the home. The volunteers represent several of the Lutheran churches in the Valley from Selah to Sunnyside. In addition Lutheran groups from Beaverton, Oregon and the Seattle area have participated. Thrivent for Lutherans and the local Lutheran churches are providing financial support the project which will include sufficient monies to fund the building of two Habitat houses in El Salvador.
The dedication for the Diaz Family was held on Sunday, August 3rd. It was a celebration for the Diaz Family and all others who came to wish them well.

Our Redeemer Lutheran with Kris Wilsey & the Diaz Family
St. Matthew Lutheran Church from Beaverton Oregon visited the Yakima Valley for the 21st year in a row; this time the members spanned three generations of volunteers helping to make the dream of affordable housing a reality for the Diaz Family as they worked on the home sponsored by Thrivent Lutheran.
Here's (most of) the gang with their finished project!

A drink for the weary
Thrivent Lutheran, an insurance and investment organization working with Lutherans across the United States, along with local churches have committed to another build this year!
We feel very blessed to receive this grant and partner again with these churches. Thrivent participated in assisting with a home in Yakima in 2003, 2006 & 2007.
