Coming at you from Jackson, Mississippi, Marcel and Matt are going to report what has happened so far on our mission trip. Yesterday we went to church and received a message from Ron Potter, he is John Perkins son in law. He preached on Samson and how God always has another move when you have hardships. What stood out to us as a group was how engaging Pastor Potter was giving his message, along with the whole church praising God. After a great time at church we went to enjoy some succulent, fresh and soft peaches, and boiled peanuts from a farmers market.
Last year we worked on the home of a missionary in Jackson named Jamie Rasberry. We worked on a bathroom floor in her unfinished house last year for her to move in to so she could continue serving the community. Jamie has trusted the Lord to continue to supply her with the gifts and tools needed to build her house, and she was able to move in in April. She now has two boys from the community living with her, and ministers to about 50-70 other kids in her neighborhood on a regular basis. We were able to hear an update on her life in her fully remodeled, refurbished and AIR CONDITIONED humble living quarters.
Advancing to today, we worked on a Voice of Calvary renovated house that is now ready to have a family move in to. Our mission team worked on cleaning the interior and exterior of the previously dirty home with activities such as raking pine needles, cutting down tree limbs, and cleaning baseboards. Lastly, we corrected the improperly fastened doorknobs in order to establish the interior decor of the house. It was a full day of work! Have a fantastic 4th of July and we look forward to blogging again.
-Matt & Marcel
