Yes, this entry is late!  Why?  The last night before departing for home can be crazy!  Sorry for the delay as it is now 1:30AM on Thursday morning.

Our Wednesday went well.  Our friends from First Methodist of Holland, Michigan joined us for our morning devotional.  We had a full upper room.

Our team then went to dedicate the remaining 18 houses (the Michigan team dedicated 2 on Saturday).  Mission accomplished!  Here is the best news of the day – eight folks prayed to receive Jesus during the dedications which brings the total to eleven for the week.  Hallelujah!  That is why GRACE Ministries does what it does!

About half of the team went to Casa Aleluya during the afternoon to rock babies and play with the children.  The others washed vehicles and began the process of getting ready to leave.  We had a final meeting at 5:00PM.  It was during that share time that the sisters from Lamar County presented me with a special gift which will come in handy on future trips.  Good stuff!

The entire team leaves the mission house at 3:00AM.  The United folks fly out at 6:30AM and the Delta folks at 7:20AM.  We should all be home well before dark.

It has been a good week and we give God the glory!  Great attitudes were displayed by all.  The love of Christ shone through this team in a special way.  I so appreciate Bro. Keith Martin bringing the folks from Kennedy Baptist as they were a blessing.  Same can be said for the entire team.

We appreciate you keeping up with us via this blog, the phone calls, et cetera.  Pray for us as we travel today.
