Happy Friday Eve!! (Thursday)
What an awesome day it has been here in West Frankfort! All squads were very close to finishing their roofs today and will be able to complete them tomorrow! One squad has already finished and will be moving to help another. How exciting!
The weather really helped us out today, it was sunny but not too hot and everyone was able to get work done smoothly. Participants were so excited when Jeremy Myers and the rest of our band took popsicles around to the job sites!
This evening we held our concert of prayer, and an amazing concert it was! The students entered the worship center in silence, but as soon as everyone was in place the band started in on Open the Eyes of My Heart (an oldie, but a goodie) and the room was filled with the sweet sound of 150+ lifting their voices to the God of the universe. Jeremy and the band led us through a variety of points, all intended to remind us of our COMMISSION to live the truth of the gospel both here and at home. It was a meaningful experience that grew to a crescendo as everyone sang in celebration of the calling they share in Christ. The Spirit of the Lord made His presence known and moved in powerful ways.
Everyone is super sad that tomorrow is our last day but we are going to make it the best one yet! Please continue to pray for all our participants as they head out for their last day on the job site and say their finally goodbyes to their homeowners.
Also, continue to show your support on our finally days through sending ServeMail! We hope everyone had a blessed Thursday!
Your Summer Staffers,
Jordan & Chad
