The couple could hardly believe they were at the theme park this week.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n\u201cThe first two days we were just in the wow stage,\u201d Joe said.<\/p>\n<p>The trip had been unplanned &#8211; unimagined actually &#8211; except by members of two Evangelical Covenant churches and the entire community of Kerman. At 9 a.m. last Saturday, 100 of the Garcias\u2019 closest friends showed up at the family\u2019s home with a surprise announcement.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.covchurch.org\/uploads\/Lw\/RQ\/LwRQ9Cgd9z5elcpsMnH1YA\/House-exterior.jpg\" alt=\"House\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" align=\"right\" \/>The crowd was there to remodel the small three-bedroom house and send the family on an all-expense-paid trip to Disneyland for a week. It was the community\u2019s way of showing love to the Garcias, whose lives were nearly devastated four years ago.<\/p>\n<p>In 2004, Joe almost died when a West Hills Oil tanker truck he was working on mysteriously exploded, seriously burning him and a coworker, Ryan Cain.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan, whose family owns West Hills Oil, attends <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kermancovenant.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kerman Covenant Church<\/a>. Joe is one of the founding members of La Vina, a Hispanic congregation planted by Kerman Covenant.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan was released from the hospital after four days. The road to recovery proved to be much longer for Joe, who suffered second- and third-degree burns to his face, chest and both arms. He spent weeks in the hospital, where he underwent numerous surgical procedures to save his life, says Michael Jordan, pastor of La Vina.<\/p>\n<p>The doctors were unsure if Joe would ever lead a productive life again. No one knew what the change would mean for Joe, his wife, Mago, or the children, including Joey, who is now a junior in high school; Leslie, who is in sixth grade; and six-year-old Mateo.<\/p>\n<p>When Joe returned home, he required almost constant care. Joey took on the task of changing his father\u2019s bandages.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, Joe was unable to speak and could only communicate by writing notes.\u00a0 He later was able to speak again, but only with the assistance of a tracheotomy, which was needed because his windpipe had been so severely damaged. He would place his thumb over the hole so he could talk. Finally, after four years, doctors were able to repair his windpipe in February.<\/p>\n<p>Joe was able to voice his excitement on the day his friends made the surprise house call. \u201cHe said \u2018God is good,\u2019 and everyone answered back, \u2018All the time,\u2019 \u201d says Stacey Greely, Kerman Covenant\u2019s youth pastor.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.covchurch.org\/uploads\/JJ\/Hs\/JJHsBRVJdtJyccKMGIuLZA\/House-limo.jpg\" alt=\"Limo\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" align=\"left\" \/>\u201cWe were just so totally surprised,\u201d Joe said from Disneyland. \u201cWe had no idea that this was taking place. We were just overwhelmed with joy and gratitude.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was in shock,\u201d his wife added. \u201cThey were showing us all that love. All the people I love were there.\u201d To see additional photos from that special day, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.covchurch.org\/cov\/news\/item6262\" target=\"_blank\">An Act of Love<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Mago really didn\u2019t want to leave. \u201cSeeing both of those churches together, I just wanted to stay and fellowship,\u201d she explained. \u201cI stop and think about it and I just start crying again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, the Garcias have continued to be a blessing to others who have been impressed by the family\u2019s faith. \u201cThey\u2019ve really stayed strong in the church through this whole thing,\u201d says Greely.<\/p>\n<p>The churches initially submitted the idea of remodeling the home to the popular ABC-TV show <em>Extreme Makeover<\/em> in 2004. When they didn\u2019t hear from the program, the friends decided to take matters into their own hands, Jordan said.<\/p>\n<p>They quietly distributed flyers and enlisted the help of the community. Businesses throughout the town donated items. (The specific details of those gifts remains a secret so as not to spoil the planned surprises.)<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks, Mago had been suspecting something was afoot, but never imagined what her friends had planned. She picked up on clues that the church might be donating an air conditioner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I looked out and saw all those people, I thought, \u201cI don\u2019t think we need all the people for that,\u201d Mago said, laughing.<\/p>\n<p>The friends, who initially had gathered about a quarter mile away (accompanying photo), arrived at the house wearing blue t-shirts emblazoned with \u201cMission Remodel\u201d on the front and \u201cAll things new\u201d in English and Spanish on the back. A local TV news crew accompanied them. To view a video news segment, please see <a href=\"http:\/\/abclocal.go.com\/kfsn\/media?id=6106000\" target=\"_blank\">Extreme Makeover<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.covchurch.org\/uploads\/5f\/3o\/5f3oEJL0iOFomVEcN3_Pjg\/House-march.jpg\" alt=\"Friends\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" align=\"right\" \/>Joe was amazed the church and town had been able to keep quiet about the event for months. \u201cThey had to tell some lies,\u201d he said, laughing.<\/p>\n<p>Others were amazed at the Garcias\u2019 reaction. \u201cJoe and Mago were pretty speechless the whole time, which is unusual for them,\u201d Greely quipped.<\/p>\n<p>The Garcias were told they would need to leave in several hours. Their friends helped them pack, but not just the items they needed for the trip. Everything was removed from the house and is being stored elsewhere. \u201cIn less than three hours, the house was empty,\u201d Jordan boasts.<\/p>\n<p>Not all of the remodeling will be a surprise for the Garcias when they return. Project organizers brought color samples from which the family could choose.<\/p>\n<p>After the packing was completed, everyone ate a barbecue lunch together. The friends cheered as the Garcias then climbed into a limousine that drove the family to Fresno about 15 miles away. There the family picked up a rental car that had been provided so that they could drive to Disneyland in Anaheim.<\/p>\n<p>The Garcias are staying in a suite across the street from the theme park. \u201cThis vacation has been awesome,\u201d Joe said. \u201cWe have never done anything like this with the family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the Garcias have been playing, Kerman residents have been working \u2013 and having a good time. Seven small groups from the churches are each taking a night to bring dinner to serve the workers and then help clean up after the day\u2019s construction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re ahead of schedule on the building so far,\u201d Jordan said.<\/p>\n<p>The family was scheduled to return to Kerman today (Friday), but unlike in the TV show, they won\u2019t be able to immediately move back into their home. \u201cIt\u2019s looking like it will be the end of May at the earliest,\u201d Jordan said.<\/p>\n<p>Until then, the family will stay in a home that was vacated by a family in the Kerman Covenant Church when they purchased another home. With his customary laugh, Joe said he doesn\u2019t mind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/newswire?moderation_action=report_form&#038;object_type=post&#038;object_id=1808&#038;width=250&#038;height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KERMAN, CA (May 2, 2008) \u2013 Joe and Mago Garcia were standing beside Splash Mountain at Disneyland, waiting for their three children to finish yet another ride.
