GRACE TRIP – AUGUST 2015 (EIGHTH ENTRY)

Written by Teddie on August 5th, 2015

How often have you made plans only to have those plans get changed?  We were told that because of a protest we would not be able to travel West until after lunch on Wednesday.  We delayed everything and was set to have our share time at 9:00AM when the call came that the roads were clear.  So, we shifted gears and quickly got everything ready to leave by 10:00AM.  We had zero problems in our travels to and from the village.  Thank you Jesus!

We divided into five dedication teams with each team taking six houses to dedicate.  The dedications went extremely well.  Dr. Rex told me that a couple of the young men from Danville Baptist led in their dedications and did a really nice job.  The people in this new village were very gracious and grateful.  Pastor Juan was a huge help.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Dr. Ashley Holladay and her assistants, Lori Bailey & Dena Free, pulled around fifty teeth Tuesday and Wednesday combined.  The patients were families involved in the feeding center.  I appreciate Ashley doing this for those people.

After lunch, we went down to the feeding center and had our share time.  Why the feeding center?  The upper room was very hot and we sat in the shade between east side of the building and the bank.  Very pleasant.  This group was not very talkative.  Hopefully, God did a great work inside each of us.

Seventy five percent (33) of the team members left for the airport at 9:00PM.  They have a 12:20AM flight.  The remaining twenty five percent (11) will leave the mission house at 3:00AM on Thursday.  Pray for these forty four folks as they travel.

This team has been great!  Really great!  Pastor Joe David, worship pastor Rex Looney, deacon Ross Genzink, Sunday School teacher Soy, and a host of others have all done excellent in helping lead this team.  Perhaps the greatest of all of these was Ellis!  The man is amazing!  Absolutely amazing!

The Lord blessed this team.  We give Him thanks!  We thank you for praying and for following us on this blog.  It has been good!  To God be the glory!
