Work Day

Wow! We got a ton done today… 

Always great to have the guys from Teen Challenge come over and give us a hand. They are a fantastic group of guys and they flat-out work! They have been helping us all fall and we have really grown to appreciate the guys. Joshua and I are going to go down and see 4 of them graduate out of the program tomorrow.

We also had some extra hands helping us get ready for our first Thanksgiving Community Dinner… my mother came over with a group of ladies from Whitehaven and helped get the basement decorated and the auditorium. 

It was an all day work day… have to take advantage of these mild days cause it can change fast here in   B-Lo!!

So cool to see the basement almost completed and ready to be used… our Love Revolution resources have heledp cover  a majority of the renovation cost but we have had some really significant partners… one man has donated all of the paint… another donated the the electrical work… a lot of volunteer labor… which when you put it all together makes it much more meaningful than just contracting it all out… we could not afford it even if we wanted to but when you allow others to join in the effort it makes the finished product more significant because it was partnership instead of simply a business transaction.

We should have an awesome time tomorrow night… just a reminder that unfortunately the basement is NOT handicap accessible.

We will pray that God will provide the needed resources to allow that to happen over the next year!
