Another great day!

Today we finished up a half day of work (until 12:30). We were able to start several projects for the home owners that other groups in the coming weeks will finish and complete a few. The kids prayed with several of the home owners after we finished. We spent the second part of the day at fort bardeau and received a tour of the place with information about the area. Tonight we have another seasion where students will have an opportunity to make different types of commitments for Jesus. Please be in prayer for that. There will be more pictures to follow. Tomorrow is our fee day and we have a special day of fun planned for the students. Pray that the relationships we've built with each other would be carries with us as we return home on Saturday. God has shown up in some incredible ways and I have truly been impress with our students maturity and perseverance! You would be so proud of them!

  1. Thank you for keeping the families in the loop. It makes the separation easier to go thru! So very thankful Calvary has made this ministry opportunity available for our middle schoolers! Today, even more than in the past, we need a generation on fire for Jesus!

  7. Hey Kelton,
    Can't wait for you to get home! Praying for everyone that you are safe as you're out today and to have a great time. Can't wait to hear about all the wonderful things you have done for God's Kingdom this week. Also, Kelton you need to teach Kealyn what a groundhog looks like because Kealyn yesterday came running in the house saying their was Ghost outside and I went out there with your pellet gun and saw that it was a mid-sized rabbit! After that she told me to just shoot the rabbit. You got some teaching to do when you get home. Can't wait to see you tomorrow!
    (You too Pip) In Christ, Keegan

  8. Elisabeth,
    I am so excited to hear about your trip when you get home tomorrow. I really appreciate your willingness to serve. Hope it has been a great week for you. I miss our late night chats, hearing you sing in the shower and even your Starbucks run. Enjoy your last day and have safe travels. Love, Mom and Dad
