On Saturday, we worked on the roof again. It was exciting to see the first sheets of metal roofing going up.
Then on Sunday, we had a wonderful day to go to Pastor Roma's church and share in song and testimony what the Lord has done for us. Gary and Linda sang the duet, "We Press On". Dan and Marianne shared testimonials and Linda finished with another song.
The sermon was about forgiving offenses.
After church, we visited their rehab center for alcoholics, drug addicts, and the homeless outside the city. We saw many familiar faces that work with us on the project and enjoyed hearing their stories.
We learned two of our workers were graduating to move into a more independent lifestyle. The church furnishes housing for the most successful clients at
$25. a month, if they will work.
Monday we continued work on the roof. By lunch, 80% of the roofing on one side, had been completed. The Russian crew helped with the roof and filling cracks along the foundation. We had a very productive day with only minor cuts.

Thanks for the updates. How exciting to read that the roof has started to go on while we slept here in Michigan. God is faithful.
Team 2 shared on Sunday with our church in Maple Rapids, Michigan. We prayed specifically for Team 3 and the work on the church. We know the enemy does not want to see this work continue so we pray for your protection and God's strength.
Psalm 127:1 "... Unless the LORD builds a house, the work of the builders is useless. Unless the LORD protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good.
To God be the glory!
-- Chris (Team 2)
Teams 3- Brothers and Sisters in Christ, greetings from Maple Rapids, MI. After seeing pictures this last Sunday during the worship service, and now reading what progress you all have made - I'm praising God for the continued good news. Continue lifting your hearts to God, giving Him honor and the glory he so richly deserves!!! Ps 29:11 "The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace." All for Him <>< Nanette
