Trade School Construction has Begun!

The Redeemed Steel Trade School construction is on schedule and looking great!

Our Casa de Gracia on-site crew has been hard at work preparing all of the infrastructure that includes massive amounts of rebar and concrete deep underground for the strength needed to withstand all the seismic activity we have here.

They are also building the block walls and the concrete posts that the metal structure will sit on. This very large structure of metal beams and panels is being constructed at an off site factory that specializes in these types of buildings.

It is truly impressive to see the incredible amount of details and labor that is going into this trade school.

Every time we see the progress on site, we think of the young people, most likely young men, that will benefit from this place. They will they learn incredibly needed and valuable trade skills like welding, wood working, leather working, knife forging, etc. They will also be able to be discipled as they participate in Bible studies. As well, they will be mentored in our Life Skills program. We are so grateful for the learning and community this place is going to provide to young people who desperately need it.

Construction is estimated to finish May 2026!!

Please pray with us for every provision needed to fully furnish this place with all the needed equipment that will be purchased, shipped down on a shipping container and installed. We still have a ways to go but today we are rejoicing in how far we’ve come in a few short months and for all God is doing!
