The Fowler Project Page 3
This particular project is located in Wiergate. The new house is being built in place of a destroyed mobile home that has been pulled out of the way to make room for the new house. The project materials are being funded by DETCOG and the Mennonite Disaster Service. This project is being done by the MDS group at the East Texas Baptist Encampment. The new owner is the Fowler family. |

| I arrived during lunch break. The group this week was from Normal, Illinois, and surrounding area. This was a church group: The Mennonite Church of Normal. Most of the group were members of that congregation, and they were joined by friends from other nearby churches. Their pastor was one of the workers. | ||
