Hope you had a spectacular Monday because we sure did!
Today, we were blessed with no rain as our squads began work on the roofs of West Frankfort homes. Eight squads arrived at their assigned homes and started work bright and early. We are excited to report that many sites are already halfway done and will be able to help other sites as the week goes on.
God’s presence is already prevalent here. The squad “Bravo” had the opportunity to share the gospel with their homeowner’s neighbor, TJ. When TJ saw the Mission Serve squad working at the house next door, he grabbed a hammer and decided to join in on the construction. Shortly after talking with the leaders of the squad, the conversation led to discipleship. TJ confessed that he used to belong to a church, but he had stopped attending and his faith had suffered. The squad took this opportunity to share the gospel with TJ, and he has rededicated himself to the kingdom of Christ.
Tonight, Toby spoke of the empowering strength of God possible within us. Toby reminded us that God does his best work when setbacks and struggles are placed in our way. This leaves our heart vulnerable to his words and will. Please pray for participants to open their hearts and mind to Jesus as He delivers his words to them especially tomorrow during our concert of prayer.
During worship, the offering was taken to support future Mission Serve hurricane relief projects in Puerto Rico and Texas. Mission Serve would like to thank everyone for donating to support the rebuilding of homes, towns, and lives.
We ask that you continue to pray for friends, family, volunteers, staff and more. If you have a loved one on the West Frankfort project, a fun way to let them know you are thinking about them is Servemail.
Sending Love,
Lauren and Sam
