We've Been To War and Back!

West Virginia that is! First of all, sorry for the delay in getting this blog updated and the link to the presentation. Until I can figure out how to embed it on my blog you will have to copy it and paste it into your browser and then you can watch it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkGCN-VK5KQ

Or you can search for it by name - it's called "1 War Mission Trip large". Weird name but it is what it is!

Our week away was one of extremes - full of laughter one moment and sadness or sorrow the other. Pushing ourselves physically to the limit every day we learned what we could and couldn't do. We could hang drywall, sand, paint, trim, lay block and cement, vinyl siding and sift through trash. We couldn't go halfway - we had to give it our all.

I want to be back there today! The needs are greater than my words or pictures can display. The opportunity for others to experience what we did is out there - we just need to strategically plan with God's direction and then do it.

I would encourage you to pray about how God wants you to be his hands and feet where you are for now and then reveal to you His plan for you in the future. In the meanwhile will you commit to pray everyday for the families of McDowell County West Virginia and specifically for Pat and Vita and family, Albert and Della and family and all our new friends at Big Creek People in Action?

Thanks you for your prayers and support in sending us - we are forever changed!
