Framber fulfilling the promise to god in the Dominican Republic

28-year-old Framber Valdez had asked God for his welfare, and health for his family, and made the almighty a promise to return the kindness by building a church. Back in his young years, when he was 14, he saw a church in bad shape and made the promise to help Pastor Antonio.

Framber revealed, ” I had always asked God to continue helping and blessing me, and in return I would build a church in Guayacanes for Pastor Antonio. As he has achieved great heights in his career he has started working on his promise in his hometown. “Right now, I’m fulfilling this goal. I’m very focused on two things – my career and building this church,’’ he further added about his current priorities.

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.”
