Mission Trip Day 4: Work Day

Today we served Jesus through manual labor. The iglisais and the parsonage sit on almost an acre of land. The buildings are old and there is always a need for repairs and maintenance. The wise elders used their skills to try and fix the riding lawnmower. They put a lot of hard work into it, and even got it to run, but n the end it was abandoned because the damage was too great. We ended up buying a small pushmower from Walmart. The college guys took turns weed whacking and push mowing. I was on pole saw duty. My mission was to eliminate all low hanging limbs from the premises.

The cross on the gabled front had vines growing all over it. We wanted to clear it out so that it would be more visible, however, it was guarded by a troop of angry bees. A few brave souls took on the challenge to clear the cross, and MD even took one for the team. At the end of the day, the church looked much better.

That night at Bible school, Jes took the two girls aside who made professions of faith Sunday. She discipled them as to what the next step in their Christian walk should be. I stayed with the other two girls and shared the gospel with them. One girl seemed very receptive, while the other seemed confused and uninterested. While they were doing their craft I asked Jes to talk to the interested girl. We gather that she has previously trusted Christ, but she still has a lot of questions. I hope both girls come back on the last night so that we can have one more opportunity to share with them.

To be continued...
