We were overwhelmed and humbled by the outpouring of food for our team.
The Galloways and other church members brought us smoked chicken and ribs along with side dishes on Wednesday night.
JP’s catering grilled some of the best steaks we’ve ever had on Thursday night.
Pulled pork, baked beans and tons of desserts were brought in for Friday night and on Saturday morning when we left, ham and cheese biscuits were supplied for our breakfast. What an incredible community!
Some of our window washing crew
and dish washers. Lots of dishes when cooking for 50 people.
and there was always cleanup to do.
Painting is probably what we did the most of. Our team put on approx. 140 gallons of paint.
Doors were hung and trim was cut and installed.
Re-installed a rollup door in the kitchen pass through window.
Tile and carpet was laid.
Yardwork was done.
Sod was laid.
Trees were planted.
Chairs and tables were scrubbed.
and cabinets were repaired.
Our church’s mission statement is
“Helping every person we can find their place in God’s plan.”
This trip was an excellent example of just that.
After what seemed like an incredibly short week, a few last projects were finished up
and the trailer was packed once again
in preparation for our long trip back north starting at 5am tomorrow morning.
This has been quite the week filled with so many “God things” including this group of people below. These servants of the Spirit never cease to amaze us!
Watch for more pictures and a wrap-up to be posted in the next few days.
These outreach trips are just as much if not more about the people and relationships among team members and team members and the community than they are about the work. Many lasting friendships are formed within 7 short days.
