A good first day of ministry.  The team built 8 houses (minus one roof) with four of those receiving concrete.  We have four or five folks on this team who have never been on an international mission trip period.  A good number of others have never been on a GRACE Ministries trip.  Our morning devotional went a little long (too much music maybe?) and we had to make three stops on the way to the village which meant that the actual building of the houses did not begin until around 11:00AM or so.  So, it was a very good day when one takes all of that into consideration.  God is good!

Today calls for more of the same.  However, our day will end early as we will be hosting supper for the 35 children who will be taking part in our feeding center program.  Their families will be involved as well.  This will give this team the opportunity to meet these children and to better know how to pray for them.

Everyone is well.  Thanks for checking on us.  Keep praying!
