Hey Friends and Family,
Everyone is back at the school, showered and about to go to dinner. We are all safe and well. A few have the sniffles but we are all doing well. Thanks so much for your prayers and your messages of encouragement. I plan to print them one more time around 7:00 your time and then we will have take down the mail wall and pack up the computer. Everyone will have their phones back and can turn them on mid afternoon tomorrow. Many of you should expect calls and texts. We look...

Tomorrow will be the last day of work for everyone, which is a bittersweet feeling. We have really had an incredible trip so far but everyone is pretty tired. God has really blessed us so far and kept us safe from injury. Today was really one of the toughest days because its the 4th day of work and attitudes start to get going with some people.
I have really been so proud of all of the First Baptist people because they have consistently been the hardest workers with the best attitudes. God...

It is 11:30 on Wednesday night. I am in the guys room and there are several snoring. It has been a great day. Our group is doing an awesome job. They are truly setting the pace here. We are still having a number of opportunities to share our faith. People here are very skeptical of religion so it is more difficult to get them to come to the Lord. We have talked to a number of people who have never heard of Jesus. We only have 2 days of working left so please pray for us as we try to be the...

Hey guys! We had a great Tuesday. Most crews finished their projects today and will get new projects to work on for the rest of the week. Yesterday and today we have had incredible opportunities to share the gospel with many people. There have been so many unique opportunities with the people here. Continue to pray for us! We will travel to Ottawa tomorrow to eat at a Hard Rock Cafe and enjoy some fellowship together.
Check out the photos we have uploaded!

Today has been a great day. Thanks for your prayers and for being a part of our team. We have had a great day today. Everyone worked hard and did a good job. We are working on roofing jobs, painting jobs, building fences, putting on siding and a couple other construction projects. We had several opportunities to talk to people about the Lord. I am very proud of our kids and adults. Our group is setting a good example. We always talk about setting the standard and our group is surely doing that....

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there!
We had a great night's sleep last night and took showers in our makeshift garbage bag stalls! This morning we grabbed breakfast at 7:30 and met up with our crews. Everyone is organized into crews of 8-10 people to work at different houses. The crews are made up of people from different churches so that we all get to meet different people. There were different churches from Baptist to Pentecostal to Episcopal that hosted all the World Changers for...

We had a great time traveling to Sidney, Ohio for our first night! Everybody seemed to get along and have a great time together. It's easy to take for granted something as simple as everyone getting along, but unity on a trip like this is a blessing of the Lord. The bus we are traveling on has DirecTV so there was no shortage of entertainment or college baseball! Last night we were in Buffalo, New York after a long day of roller coaster riding. You can tell from the pictures below how much...

Hey guys we will be hitting the road in just 2 short days! If you are going on the trip, make sure you have everything on the packing list ready to go. We want our load up time to be as painless as possible.
Parents and church members, please be praying for the students and adults going on this trip. Pray that they would be ministered to as they minister to others and that the nights of worship and teaching would be refreshing. Pray for the people that we will encounter in Canada as we...
