July 4, 2007 -- Prayer is in Order as Challenges Abound

"Patient endurance is what you need now, so you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised." -- Hebrews 10:36

Bob Ivins reports from the Lesosibisk church site that the construction company supervisor, and the engineer came on site. They looked at the hole, said it’s too wet and will be back on Monday. That gives them 7 days to finish the foundation before Team Two arrives. It’s still possible for it to happen. (Go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/siberiamissiontrip for a current view of the construction site.)

“All teams must remain flexible, and serve where the Lord wants us to serve,” Said Richard Goshert, Send International. “There is more to do on other construction projects than we can accomplish.”

“We will be flexible,” Bob said. “Presently our team is large enough; we can have a framing crew building trusses, and a crew setting block if it comes to that.”

Richards says that the plan now is for Team Two to pick up the Lesosibrisk project at whatever point it is and continue to finish as much as possible. He said they may have two or three crews divided to work on the foundation, truss building, and possibly side wall construction. "In the off chance that they run out of work, there is a children’s camp with a large need for teams to work."

Update From Team Three
Gary Griffis reports that Team Three is now only six people, four men and two women. Gary Jordan, the construction teacher at the local community college, fell from a 20 ft. ladder last week and broke his pelvis in 5 places. Because of this, both he and his wife will not be going.
