Hooray for Friday!
Today was our final day of worksites! What a wild week it has been! This week ten squads took on 9 sites –two painting and seven roofing squads. The squads busted it out today and we are proud to announce that our groups have finished all their worksites! Even through a day of rain and high temperatures, these squads have worked with passion and servant hearts. We are so blessed by our good, good Father!
To wrap up the week, we had closing ceremony. We are so appreciative to everyone in a leadership position for taking time out of their busy schedules to serve with us this week. We’d especially love to thank the band, volunteers, lodging facility, speaker and project coordinator.
Tonight, Heath spoke out of Acts 9:26-31 about Paul’s relationship with Barnabas. He spoke about how ‘Each church needs a Paul’ to stand on the foundation of Jesus and proclaim His faithfulness and truth of our Lord. However, even through the passion and desire to know Him, Paul had doubt that he was not equipped to do our Savior’s works justice. This lead Heath to explain ‘Every Paul Needs a Barnabas’ to encourage and enlighten. Even though Paul was strong in his faith, he needed someone to enlighten him so he may be renewed to speak the truth to others. This lead to Heath’s last point of the night: ‘God can equip us through the lives of others- and can equip others through our lives’. Heath challenged the participants to think about who their Barnabas is and how they encourage our faith.
Even though we are sad to see everyone leave tomorrow, we pray for everyone’s safe travels home. We pray that the relationships made this week continue and the faith that has started this week continues to grow.
Till Next Project!
