GRACE IV – JULY 31, 2017

Monday, July 31st, 2017

The Lord blessed the team with a really good Sunday.  It went as was stated in yesterday’s blog.

The church service was special as the Holy Spirit manifested Himself and ten folks made public professions of faith by accepting Jesus as their personal Savior.  Just a very special service and one of those you had to be there things.  All glory to God.

Feeding the My Special Treasure students this morning, working at the feeding center with Lazaro & Glendy and building more houses.  Praying for a productive day.

Thank you for praying and checking on this team.  Blessings!

GRACE IV – SUNDAY, 7/30/17

Sunday, July 30th, 2017

The team’s second day was a good one.  The morning began by hearing from the folks who lead My Special Treasure home and school.  Special share time with them.

The building teams got six more houses built with two more ready for the metal.  When you do not take screws it becomes very difficult to screw on the sides and top!  (Heads are about to roll!).  Five houses are completely finished.  Nine more houses received concrete yesterday so that makes thirteen that have been concreted.

We got rain yesterday afternoon which is good for the Guatemalans as this is rainy season.  It also rained during the night so it appears we may be dealing with rain from this point forward.

Morning devotional, shopping, lunch and then the church service today.

Pray for this team.  Thanks for checking on them.  Blessings!

GRACE IV – JULY 29, 2017

Saturday, July 29th, 2017

The Lord blessed us with a really strong first day of building yesterday.  We drove about an hour to the West and probably got started building around 10:45AM and we stopped at 5:00PM.  In those six hours plus the team built nine houses with four of those receiving concrete and having the fronts put on.  That is a good day of building.

How was this team able to get some much done the first day?  Two words – Brian Ellis!  The man is amazing!

The leaders of the My Special Treasure School will be with the team this morning for breakfast.  The team will go there Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings to feed them breakfast, Lord willing.

Please pray for this team.  All is well.  Blessings!

GRACE IV – JULY 27, 2017

Friday, July 28th, 2017

They came in two waves with the first wave arriving on GRACE Mountain somewhere around 3:00PM.  They did the bank, supper and some shopping before calling it a day.  They were tired from getting up really early to get to the respective airports.

The second wave arrived on GRACE Mountain around 10:30PM.  They had obviously taken an afternoon flight.  Pizza was waiting on them.  They consumed it quickly and headed off to bed.

So, we thank God for a good day of travels.  We never take that for granted.  Thank you to those who prayed.

Our Friday begins with devotion at 7:00AM and then we are off to build houses.  Our goal is either twenty six or twenty seven.

Thank you for checking on this team.  More entries will be coming.  Blessings!
