Happy Friday!
Today, our squads went out to their worksites and finished up their jobs. We cannot thank God enough for the work he has done in Savannah this week and the work He will continue to do after we leave. This week, the squads completed a roof and painted 4 houses.
After returning from their sites, the participants were treated to a dinner of chicken tenders and mac-n-cheese, a BIG hit. After, we had our closing celebration and recognized the astounding leadership this week. We would not be able to pull off this project without our amazing project coordinator, construction coordinator, construction captains, squad leaders, group leaders, first aid coordinator, cooking team, worship band, speaker, and other volunteers. Without the amount of work they put in, the Savannah project could not be as wonderful as it is. Speaker Jon Tillman closed up the service with a great message of carrying home the lessons and dedication of God.
One of the best stories from this week comes from one of our churches. Before coming to Savannah, one participant came to Christ and decided to be baptized while at the project. During their off day on Wednesday, the church went to Tybee Island and the participant was baptized in the ocean. On Thursday, during the Concert of Prayer and Youth Group Devotions, three more participants from the same church came to know God and wanted to be baptized too. Today, after all the squads returned from their sites, the church returned to Tybee and baptized those students. It’s truly amazing to see God work within the lives of these kids and see how He has changed their hearts.
Tomorrow morning, the churches will return home and we wish them the safest of travels. Thanks for a great week and we hope to you y’all next year!
