When we arrived at the work site the villagers were already waiting for us. The weather was moderate and we got a lot accomplished. The roof rafters are being installed and the building is beginning to take shape. Today we were there to help the carpenters. They were excited to have a helping hand and they too learned a technique to make their work easier.
The day closed with a fellowship moment. It was a time of sharing. There was a testimony from a woman who was at bible study when the earthquake struck and how she lead people out of the collapsed building. I sensed a profound expression of gratitude from the members, workers and villagers. They’re channels of blessings. The people see the rebuilding of the church as a miracle in their time and presence.
This community will never be same and the team has felt an indelible mark upon them. They are now looking forward to the rededication of their new church
As we bring our sojourn to an end each member reflected on the impact this mission trip had on each of us.
