Houston Astros pitcher wants to get the church ready by New Year

Valdez is investing 2 million Dominican Pesos (around $100,000) in a 1,500 square-foot structure. Notably, the church room will have a room for 50 people, and Framber is planning to open it by the new year.

Remarkably, Framber is not doing it for any profits, and just to fulfill his pledge to God. Framber said, ”If I build you this church, you give me this,’ because I don’t like that. I don’t like feeling like this is a business deal. I’m doing this because I made a promise.”
