We had heard&nbsp;about a&nbsp;Christian school at&nbsp;the church in Bancos De Arena&nbsp;that was&nbsp;being pressured by the government to expand their amenities or be shut down.&nbsp;For this reason, they wanted to add on a basketball court.&nbsp;But then, as&nbsp;things&nbsp;started shutting down&nbsp;because of&nbsp;Covid-19, we canceled the&nbsp;trip.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fast&nbsp;forward to July of 2021. We were able to&nbsp;reschedule&nbsp;our scouting&nbsp;trip&nbsp;and&nbsp;develop a plan for how we could&nbsp;help&nbsp;the school.&nbsp;Once&nbsp;in the Dominican Republic,&nbsp;we met Raul Escalante, pastor of First Spanish Open Bible Church in Sunrise, Florida,&nbsp;and he began to show us the building itself. Pastor Raul\u2019s church has been supporting this church since&nbsp;its&nbsp;inception.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we were inspecting the lot and the building, Pastor Raul explained&nbsp;that&nbsp;the church&nbsp;building&nbsp;was previously a bar.&nbsp;After the church&nbsp;purchased it, the bar owner was converted to Christ.&nbsp;Shortly after&nbsp;purchasing the building, the&nbsp;church&nbsp;built&nbsp;an addition&nbsp;onto&nbsp;it. The back half of the building, which&nbsp;was constructed&nbsp;ten&nbsp;years ago,&nbsp;was starting to develop significant structural cracks in the columns and beams. It was clear that even though&nbsp;the church leaders&nbsp;wanted a basketball court, our attention needed to turn to the building.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was determined&nbsp;that&nbsp;the&nbsp;two-story&nbsp;building was beyond repair. It&nbsp;had the same structural issues as the building that collapsed in Surfside, Florida, on June 24, 2021,&nbsp;so&nbsp;we had it demolished in September. As much as it grieved us to tear down the space the&nbsp;church&nbsp;used for their school, it was the right decision for the safety of everyone&nbsp;in the building.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li

It was hot, but we all agreed you couldn\u2019t beat the view.

Even though we didn\u2019t have the time on this trip to build the new school, we are committed to going back and giving&nbsp;the church&nbsp;a structure they can be proud of.&nbsp;We will soon be announcing a trip back to the Dominican Republic to construct the school.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As much as&nbsp;MOVE does&nbsp;construction&nbsp;everywhere we travel, we are first and foremost&nbsp;a men\u2019s ministry. Our mission statement is Men Building Men, Men Building Churches. Men from all over the nation have been a part of our projects. They&nbsp;are sent home challenged to be better leaders for their homes, workplaces,&nbsp;and churches. It is our desire that men of any age or skill level would consider joining MOVE ministries on one of our upcoming projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/News-MOVE-Aaron-Keller-photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17899\" width=\"350\" height=\"419\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/News-MOVE-Aaron-Keller-photo.jpg 700w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/News-MOVE-Aaron-Keller-photo-251x300.jpg 251w, https:\/\/openbiblemessage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/News-MOVE-Aaron-Keller-photo-600x717.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Aaron Keller<\/strong> is the National Director for <em><strong>MOVE Ministries <\/strong><\/em>and the&nbsp;lead&nbsp;pastor of <em><strong>Sunshine Open Bible Church<\/strong><\/em> in Des Moines, Iowa.
