Homestretch

It is Saturday morning and we are in Hayti, Missouri.

Departing yesterday from Central City was bitter sweet. We feel great about all that has been accomplished, but know that our work is not done, and we feel excited to return. We were able to complete the framing upstairs, almost all the drywall already has 2 coats of mud, and the job site was left clean and ready for the next teams.

We wanted to do something special for the men of the Nehemiah program. On Friday when we were saying our goodbyes we presented them with journals, sketch pads and dictionaries. During our week together many of them had so many great questions and insights that helped us grow, and showed they were working through some of the core issues in their lives.

We've had a few hours sleep and are getting ready to start the long trek home. Grateful for the chance to serve, and humble for God's daily provision in our own lives, we return to share the stories and pictures of lives forever changed.

Still glorifying God....
