Nic Matich and Blake Stacey are engineers in Australia. They designed a mobile crisis construction factory. People feed building debris into a machine. They make a mix that is half rubble, some clay, and a little cement. That is fed into a press. No baking! The final bricks dry on a board. They lock together like LEGO bricks. Builders do not use mortar. The factory can make enough bricks to build three homes in one week.

God promised to restore Israel. “They shall raise up the former devastations. They shall repair the ruined cities.” (Isaiah 61:4)
