Day Two and Day Three

I apologize for not having an updated the past two days because they have been long days. The group continue to work hard on all our sites. The VBS group is having a blast sharing Bible stories with the kids. Tuesday they did the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Joe English played a great Jesus yesterday. Jessica Avallone and Caroline Carlson played Mary and Martha. Yesterday, Adam Jackley had the opportunity today to share the Gospel with the students.

The group at the outreach center continued their work on the roof. We were able to remove all the shingles off the roof, lay down all the new felt, and we started to put new shingles on. Yesterday they continued the same task and we hope to finish up the roof on Friday.

The group at the other work site continued to accomplish various tasks. This group is helping a member of Fountain of Life Ministries who needs some work done on her home. They have power washed and resealed a deck. They have put in new windows. They are worked to repair the skirt on the trailer and they began a project that involves demolishing a shed. A long list of work that they hope to accomplish on Friday.

Last night our group attended a dinner and a church service at Fountain of Life Ministries. There is one word that best describes it: powerful. God was clearly in that place moving in the hearts of His people. All the members of our team were deeply moved by what they experienced in God's presence last night.

Today is our day off and we will enjoy it canoeing. Pray for us as we finish up our projects on Friday. Pray that everything goes well and that we continue to be injury free. God has been doing wonderful things in the lives of those on this trip. Students are drawing closer to God and experiencing Him in ways they haven't before. It's been a beautiful thing to witness. God is so good!

Thanks for your prayers!
