Word of Life Chapel Team

We are excited to have a team of 15 from my home church, Word of Life Chapel, Bainbridge, PA. It's been pretty much non-stop since their arrive Saturday afternoon. The drive from the airport was...exciting, with Rod driving...as he does, closely followed by an airport taxi, who was just as insane. Yesterday we had planned to meet in a pole tent on the street right outside the church, only to have a big, white dumptruck park right there.

So we made some last minute adjustments and ended up erecting the tent-like structure down the street from the church. We had to transport all the instruments and chairs...but Jim Cottrill helped out with his Astro, a twin of mine, and with all the hands we had we ended up having a great service, using our new pulpit for the first time. I preached on Genesis 35.

Today the team started the day with a devotional time, then some of the group began painting the church while the other half prepared for their first ESL class. We ended up putting two coats of paint on the upstairs room. Denny and Samuel, a man from the church, also stained the pulpit.

ESL classes started out with a bang, with about 30 students today. The classes went well. Then the party continued with a lot of fun times with the Mexican young people who join in on the fun.

Pictures forthcoming.

Thanks for your prayers!
