Work Days

[Kyuboem Lee]

Last Friday and Saturday, G.Hope held two Work Days to give some much needed TLC to our well-worn building. Kurt, who runs a contractor business and serves as an elder, organized the time. Various members pitched in and gave their time, some of them whole days, taking time off from work, working alongside each other, in a true community effort. Kurt's in-laws also traveled up from Maryland to give us a full 12-hour day on Saturday. As a result, we now have a worship space that feels brand-new. Moreover, through this process, we were able to get back in touch with what it means that we are a missionary body called together to serve alongside each other in this place. For this, I am grateful and encouraged.

Here's Kurt, leading the way:

Here are his in-laws, Vicki and Alton:

And here is the very nearly finished product:

On another note, thank you to those who have joined us in our 50/50 Campaign. We are grateful for your financial support--you enable us to continue our ministry in a place without many resources. We still have a long way to go, though. Would you consider becoming a part of our team of givers and join the 50/50 Campaign? Details are here. 

On still another note, this time a more personal one, my family has been blessed by so many of you who have stepped in and supplied our needs in such varied ways, be they spiritual or physical--through intercessory prayers, financial gifts, words of encouragement, times of friendship, and even an interest-free loan for car when our old one died. They were all right on time. You remind us that the kingdom of God is bigger than we could imagine, and that we can depend on our Father to supply all our needs. Thank you for being the Church. May the Lord supply all of your needs as well, according to his glorious riches in Christ.

Until next time.

Shalom,
