New Friends among Disciples





One of the joys of these trips is getting to meet the owners of the homes where we're doing our work. On the top right are homeowners Lisa and Don Phillips with the crew: David Burton, Pastor Kris, Gail Haverdill, Doug from Virginia, Abe and Amy Cohn, and Gail Ritchey. On the bottom right: Ron and Judy Anderson from Minnesota, David Eggert, homeowner Roy Morford, Kelly and J.R. Detamore from Indiana, Elaine Harkless, Gail Haverdill, Ed Kidd, Bill Laurenson, Tom Haverdill, Site Leader Neil Miller, and Bob from Indiana.

People are so grateful for the help and are always so surprised that people would travel so far and give up a week to come and help them. It is emotional for them -- and for us -- together we are Christ's disciples.

We worked hard today. It was a chilly morning in the 30's and warmed to only the 50's, but we were dressed in layers and enjoyed working outdoors. At the Morford home, the crew did the siding trim on the house corners and the windows and doors, and they're ready to start siding the house in the morning. At the Phillips house, we were framing, putting up doors, leveling floors to prepare the house for sheetrock, heating and electrical, and flooring.

Blessings,
Pastor Kris
