It’s Friday, Friday gotta get DONE on Friday!
Today has been spectacular. We are so proud to announce that ALL 15 of our squads completed their projects. As well as some additional minor projects. They worked so hard this week that they even had time to spare in the afternoon and just hang out as a squad.
Today at Lima’s squad we were fortunate enough to be able to visit with their homeowner Ms. Vicky. She has an incredible story. She invited around 20 of us into her living room and sang for us! It was phenomenal. She then allowed us to sing to her. God is so good we area so thankful for opportunities to bond with homeowners.
In the evening we had a very exciting celebration. We watched the Mission Cam first, and it was awesome. Everyone loved it. It will be available on the Mission Serve Vimeo page tomorrow! We then were able to recognize all of the people who made our project run so seamlessly. There was much cheering and encouraging as we announced each Construction Captain and Squad Leaders. We love seeing squads truly bond within the course of a week.
The worship tonight was incredible. Our band, Mountain Collective, had an incredible set and everyone I the worship center was definitely ready to praise. Thomas talked about what it will look like to be back in our home communities. Will we take what we have learned and share it? Or will we miss the opportunities to do so and remain unchanged? We are excited to hear about how the participants here this week go forth after this week.
This week maybe over, but the memories and relationships formed will last a lifetime. To relive some moments from the week, check our Facebook in the coming days for all the pictures taken here in Charleston, WV. We are praying for our groups as they return and look forward to seeing you all at another project, soon
Signing off,
