FRIDAY, 1/31/14

This entry is being typed shortly before 10:30AM – what a wild last couple of days it has been for GRACE Ministries.

One team left the mission house yesterday headed home to Michigan.  I do not know if they blogged so I do not have much of an update.  I do know they worked on building a church building and built twelve houses.  This team goes every year and have been doing so for many years.  They do such a wonderful job.

Another team left (kind of) yesterday morning bound for Guatemala.  This team had folks flying out of Atlanta, Grand Rapids, St Louis, and New Orleans.  The winter weather in the South changed some things i.e. the Atlanta folks were supposed to be flying from Birmingham and the New Orleans folks were supposed to be flying from Mobile.  Thankfully, everyone from ATL, GRR, and MSY arrived in Guatemala safe and sound yesterday.

The three folks in St. Louis have a different story.  Their flight from STL got cancelled yesterday and they were re-booked to today, 1/31.  Not so fast my friend!  That flight from STL got cancelled this morning and they were re-booked for tomorrow, 2/1.  St. Louis is going to possibly receive some snow and ice tonight/tomorrow.  Not good.

Now keep in mind that Pastor Bob Harvey from Auburn is supposed to be leading this team.  Where is he during all of this?  Tanning on the roof top of the mission house in 70 plus degree weather.  He really saw the St. Louis three as needing to deal with their own problems.  Not me.  After literally hours of waiting on the phone, a very kind lady from Delta switched them to another airline and they will now arrive in GC tonight.

On the feeding center front, our committee has to make a decision today as how to proceed.  Pray for wisdom.

Pray for the team that is there now doing medical and construction.

Thanks for praying for GRACE Ministries.
