Regular schedule on the Friendship campus today and tonight.

I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.

The team began the morning with their usual devotional time.  Dr Mike & Miss Dottie Clark came from the Casa Aleluya Children’s Home and Dr. Mike brought us a good word from the Word.  Dr. Mike & Miss Dottie have always been so very kind to GRACE Ministries, my family and me.  I appreciate the ministry God has given them.  Great folks!

Deidra took a group of twenty plus to the dump to feed the folks working there.  By working I mean going through the trash collecting whatever they can find to resell.  Kenny Cooper brought a word from the Word to those folks.

That group then traveled to San Pedro to minister to some of the families displaced by the volcano.  They ministered by feeding them breakfast.

They then came back and worked at the feeding center in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, the building crew went back and built four more houses bringing the total built on this trip to sixteen.  Fifteen of those now have concrete.  Over half are completely finished.  What is left to be done will be done in the morning.

Everyone gathered at the feeding center at 4:00PM and about sixty of our children presented a musical program which included a few Bible verses.  Kendall Hargraves put this program together along with an assist from Tess, Daisy & Diana.  It was a really good program.  Afterwards, we celebrated June’s birthday boys and girls.  We had piñatas and all!  A good time was had by all!

Tonight’s supper was salad and pizza on a neighboring farm.  It was good.  It was a different experience.  Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

We hope to finish strong tomorrow.  Pray for us.  Blessings!
