Last weekend our little church in Crawfordsville hosted a mission team from Gaither Baptist Church near Harrison, AR. They came to help us with a community wide block party on Saturday, help prepare for Vacation Bible School, and do some construction projects around the church. It was an amazing weekend. Their church is about the same size as ours and they brought 28 people. None of them had ever been on any kind of mission trip before. They were nervous that there wouldn't be enough to do. Boy, were they wrong. Their pastor shared a few words Sunday morning with our congregation. He said, "We thought we were going to be standing around and not have enough to do. Boy, was I wrong...you've got an ambitious little preacher here if you didn't know it!!" It was so funny!!
John finishing the obstacle course. Obviously he is a little tired. He played hard for 3 hours straight.
Woooooo Pig Sooie!!!!
The team pulled up carpet and tiled two classrooms and the hallway. The carpet had been there for like 25 years! uuggghhhh. They also made flower beds, power washed the building, and cut down old b-ball goals. I'm sure most of them slept all the way home. THANKS GAITHER!!!
