Hi again from all of us in Fair Bluff,
It is Monday and Monday means it is time to work. We began our morning with an essential breakfast and some encouragement from our PC, Joe Monk. Joe reminded students why we are here this week and encouraged them to seek opportunities to share their own, personal story.
Despite the intensely high temperatures, squads were able to work as a team to get the large, introductory pieces of their projects. This week squads will be working on both roofs and wheelchair ramps. Additional projects include a few sites on the campus of West Columbus High School.
An exciting element to our day was a visit from Matt Bennett, a reporter from WWAY TV (Wilmington). He spoke with several students and the homeowner’s son from the combined squads Uniform and Victor. The students did a great job sharing why they are here this week and why they enjoy Mission Serve! Check out the full article here!
Another fantastic part of today was being able to hear that several of the squads were able to meet their homeowners. Furthermore, other squads also reported getting to speak with several locals within the community who were interested to see what these students were doing. What a great opportunity to share the love of Christ in a practical way.
In the evening we experienced another phenomenal worship experience. The band played an eccentric set that really caused our hearts to be focused on the presence of the Holy Spirit. Our speaker Thomas dared everyone at the project to trust God. He provided several stories from his life where he had to trust God. He also invited a guest speaker to come and share their story of trusting God continually.
We have been so blessed to have such a great start to the week and expect to see God in so many other ways this week. Please continue to think and pray for us. Also, continue to encourage everyone as well as reminding them to DRINK WATER by sending ServeMail.
Your Summer Staff,
Jack & Alexis
