Day One

It was a great first day! Everyone was hard at work and we completed more than we anticipated on the first day. We worked three different sites today. One group worked on the roof of the Fountain of Life Outreach Center. Another group worked on other buildings associated with Fountain of Life. And another group worked to put on a VBS. All members worked very hard to accomplish what we set out to start at the front end of the week.

Those working on the roof tore off all the old shingles and felt. They also worked on pulling up all the old nails that held the felt down. This task proved to be the longest and most tedious because of the amount of nails and how deep into the boards they were. Nonetheless, we worked hard to finish one half of the roof. We will continue to work on the second half of the roof tomorrow.

The other group worked on the skirt of the building and they also installed a new office window. There are many tasks to accomplish at this site so the group will take each on one at a time.

Finally, the last group had a great day working at the VBS at a church nearby Brandon Cratty had an opportunity to play a Roman Soldier for the kids as part of a Bible story. The VBS group appeared to have a successful first day and are looking forward to the rest of the week.

It was indeed a great first day. No one was injured. Only a couple small scrapes. Continue to pray for our safety as the week goes on and that God would continue to meet us in profound ways.

Here are some of the pictures from the first day:
