Yesterday/last night marked the arrival of thirty seven new folks joining the six of us already here to make up the second half of GRACE Ministries team #1A.  Those thirty seven arrived in three waves – 1:30PM, 8:30PM & 10:30PM.  I met the afternoon group, Derek Draft & David Scholz met the first evening group and Nick Davis met the last group.  I appreciate Derek, David & Nick going “above & beyond” to help with this vital part of the trip.

So, our day begins with our morning worship time at 7:00AM.  Evangelist Michael is our team pastor while Carla Mast will be leading our musical worship.  John Gissal will be our guest soloist for the day!

We have one group of medical folks that will be in two meetings which will basically consume their day.  Another group of medical folks led by Lisa Bomers & Laura Nyitray (ok, so we had no one else to lead!) will host a medical clinic.  The rest of the team will head West and begin building houses.  Those folks will be led by Rick Bradley, Dean Kapenga, Paul Schab and Freddie Turrentine.  (Actually, Samuel Acan and I will be leading this team but it makes those four feel good to see their name in lights!)  Tony Gettig will be capturing everything on camera.  Jan Kapenga will be cooking supper.  All set!

Pray for us.  Hopefully we can recap the day in another report tonight.
