After the first day of work today, we are tired, we
are sore and we are red. We were blessed with great weather today, nice cool
breeze and about 80 degrees. Today we started early with a breakfast of oatmeal
and fruit. After breakfast we loaded up the coolers, our tools, sunscreen, bug
spray and headed to the farm. Upon arrival we started setting up and then had
the opportunity to hear Skip’s testimony while he lead devotions with the Teen
Challenge team. Romans 8:28 reads that, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of
those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
I am always amazed at God’s provision for our team
when we are on a mission trip and we always seem to get more work done then I
had thought we could. Today we started with a concrete slab and foundation and
by the end of the day through Scott and Skips leadership, we have the walls framed.
Mark and Darryl spent the morning providing John Maxwell leadership training to
the Teen Challenge staff team prior to joining the rest of the team in the
afternoon.
Tomorrow we will begin working on the roof, as we are
hoping the zinc (metal roofing) will be delivered tomorrow. We are also
continuing to do the work that is before us. Ephesians 2:10 states that, “For we
are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Until then we thank
you for your prayers.
