guest bloggers!


Thanks for tuning in today, your guest bloggers are Mama Bear and Chuckles.

Last night was a real treat to get to go play with some kids in the projects. The youth camp had structured activities for the kids and we were invited to go and watch. We played Duck, Duck, Goose, soccer and watched the Challenge Circle activities. The kids love it and look forward to every Monday night.

Emily served up another great breakfast of pancakes and cereal and eggs. Then it was off to work to try and loosen up 13 sore bodies. It was hotter and more humid today so it didn’t take long to loosen up, and start smelling. We broke into two groups, with some working on forms for our concrete work, and some painting the house around the corner.

A rain storm shut us down and we broke for lunch. The guys from the Nehemiah Program supplied us with sub sandwiches and a huge platter of danishes. It is so great that we can be a blessing to each other when we reach out and connect with people we really wouldn’t otherwise get to know. The rain continued and we moved back into the room that will be the fellowship hall to finish prepping for tomorrow.

We knocked off work early to have a break for our bodies, and it just so happens the kids are able to join in a basketball game across the road. We can’t wait to hear the stories on our ride to Trinity tonight where we will see and hear stories about the devastation from the hurricanes and the miracles that God provides.

Tomorrow is a big work day; we will be doing some concrete work. Please pray for strength and endurance. What a privilege it is to be such a blessing, and to be blessed in return.

All for God’s glory!

Hey team! Display some pics-- I'm missing Jace and would love to see his (sweaty?)face. I'm praying every day for you all.
