One Person, One Family (at a time) Relief

As the degree of damage and despair in Houston and Texas coastline continues to unfold before us, our team is dedicated to restoring hope in as many communities as possible. Our GeoSolutions family has prayerfully formulated a plan that will put much needed resources directly into the hands of those in need. Our offices in Oklahoma and throughout Texas have committed to raising $20,000 to help fund our One Person, One Family (at a time) relief effort. Each dollar raised will be used to purchase $50 cash cards or gift cards from big box hardware stores closest to the affected areas we serve.

GeoSolutions Outreach Day | October 6-7

This weekend was nothing short of remarkable – GeoSolutions volunteers witnessed God’s hand at work in the affected area. The afternoon shift was heart wrenching. Our crew was greeted by the Hunter family of four whose home was lifted off of it foundation by the 3-4 foot storm surge on the west side of Rockport, closest to Copano Bay. They basically lost everything. Our team primarily focused on removing furniture and appliances that were destroyed while also sifting through a debris pile for salvageable items. In spite of their loss, the Hunter family was able to muster a smile in taking the attached picture. After praying for them as a team, the Samaritan’s Purse team leader allowed us to present the family $1,700 worth of Home Depot and Target gift cards. Please lift up the team leaders and volunteers in the coming days and weeks – much work still to be done. “One Person, One Family (at a time) Relief” are not just words on an internet site… GeoSolutions is living this out.

GeoSolutions Outreach Day | September 28-29

GeoSolutions personnel will utilize boots on the ground in our Houston and Corpus Christi markets aided by our outlying office staff to directly impact families, comfort them, pray with them, provide monetary assistance and humbly help begin the healing process. We have committed to initially travel to the affected areas on Sept 28 – 30 to assist in the clean-up/rebuilding effort. Future travel dates are also being established for personnel from our offices in Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi and Oklahoma to continue our service efforts. We are faithful that God will show us continued actions to step into as hope is restored One Person, One Family at a time.

Giving Back

Our adopted Christmas Family this year was Veronica of Austin and her 3.5 children, Geneva (11 yrs), Mercedes (8 yrs), Jacob (4 yrs) and the baby on the way. We supplied a lot of necessities, clothes and toys for the family. Carol and Joy provided the shopping expertise and did a phenomenal job of making our money go a long way. Jesse, Joaquin and I played Santa and delivered the gifts. It took us 3 trips back and forth to the truck to bring in all the gifts. By the time we made our second round, Veronica was in tears. I assure you they were happy tears. It was a heart-warming experience for all of us. Thank you to everyone that participated and contributed to Veronica and her family.

Rwanda Trip 2014

We traveled to the Gatsibo District in the Eastern Province of Rwanda, where the lack of clean water significantly hampers the villager’s quality-of-life. Several times a day, the village children and the mothers of these remote villages trek several miles to draw water from surface water sources that are polluted by runoff and livestock activity. We have been called to help provide clean water sources for the villagers and were able to successfully drill our third and fourth well this year. We are partnered again with Rwandans4Water. The president, Aloys Zunguzungu, and his staff were again extremely accommodating and made our trip extremely fulfilling.

we were very excited to provide additional comfort in the way of croc shoes and indestructible soccer balls. We provided 50 pairs of crocs to a group of village kids that had followed us on an expedition to the wells we had drilled in 2002. We will never forget their smiling faces as we placed, what was for many of them, their first pair of new shoes on their feet. The process of handing out the 20 soccer balls was equally rewarding. It basically amounted to finding a group of kids that were playing soccer with a makeshift ball, typically old T-shirts and rags, tied into the shape of a ball with twine and surprised them with a shiny new indestructible soccer ball. We had the joy of getting involved in multiple impromptu games and skills competitions.

Rwanda Trip 2012

Jared Steedley, from our Austin office, was scheduled to be in Rwanda to do some mission work with an orphanage and agreed to help coordinate the efforts to drill the wells with the Rwandans4 Water organization. Jared and his friend Travis Perkins took a very active role in serving the Villagers by helping drill one of the wells while they were there. The second water well will follow after completion of the first well. Jared has done an outstanding job representing us and doing God’s work in Rwanda. Thank you all for being part of something bigger than all of us! I pray that God will continue to bless our efforts in Africa or wherever he leads us next.
