Linefork Final Day

We  reached Ms. Mary's place before service started, so we all took the prayer walk and prayed.  It was a great time.  A friend of Ms. Mary's talked about living with the Spirit for Sunday school and next the Ignite team led worship service.  Alan played the guitar with them.  After service it was sad to say good-bye to everyone.  We're so grateful for what God has done through us and in us throughout this trip to Linefork.

Linefork Day 4

Today God held off most of the rain for us.  Howard took Christina, Ana, Abigail, and Drew up the prayer walk.  After lunch, everyone except Alan, David, and John (who stayed behind to finish the fence) went to Cumberland to drop off the clothes to a great mission called United for Jesus.  We sorted some of the clothes and the people came to pick up them up.  We gave them Salvation bracelets and helped them find lots of new clothes.  Each of them had different stories and we were thrilled to share some love and pray with them.  Tomorrow we will go to Ms. Mary's church. Sunday School at 10:00, Lunch at 11:00 (yes that is correct) then service at 12:00! We will be heading home after that. We should be back at the church by 8.

Linefork Day 3

Last night Larry and his two truck loads full of food, meds, & clothes, so today everyone helped unload them.  After that, we continued the work we had started yesterday.  Drew, Paul, Sherry, & Lynda went to donate a trailer full of clothes to another ministry nearby, which will distribute the clothes to the comunity.  David, Ken, Chistina, Abigail, & Ana stained the back deck.  The men and the Ignite team finished taking out the railroad ties and started on the fence.  After lunch the girls all prepared for the kids' birthday party.  John grilled hamburgers and hot dogs for everybody.  Everyone enjoyed the party.  The kids (and Ms. Mary) loved the many cards the children made at Global Express.  After the party, Ms. Mary inspired us with her testimony.  Tomorrow we hope to do some witnessing in the community.

Linefork Day 2

We arrived at Ms. Mary's with plenty to do.  The girls worked on Theresa's garden while the men worked on the front yard.  Hector was in the garage fixing everything.  The Ignite team was very helpful.  After lunch the girls scraped paint off the back porch while the men still worked on the front yard. :)  The railroad ties at the driveway took lots of manpower.  All the men had to help.  We ended with a happy (and exhausting) dinner of Ms. Mary's Rueben sandwiches.

Linefork Day 1

We arrived at Ms. Mary's at around 1:30 today.  We went straight to work.  David, Christina, Sherry, Lynda, Ana, & Abigail pulled the weeds out of Miss Mary's front yard.  Hector went to work fixing the weed-eaters.  Alan, John, Ken, Paul, & Jason worked on Ms. Mary's fountain.  Drew was the "gopher" for everyone.  That evening we introduced each other to the Ignite college students team.  We made plans and got excited for upcoming ministry together.  Everyone had a good time after a long (hot) afternoon.
(Due to technical difficulties, we are unable to upload pictures.  We'll try again tomorrow.)
