For the past few weeks the church has been getting ready for the arrival of the work team from Atlanta.  They will get here this Saturday night and spend the whole of next week with us helping to renovate the church sanctuary and our apartment upstairs.  The house we are staying in right now thankfully has enough extra rooms in it that, if needed, the whole team could stay in it for the week.  The plan right now is that half of them will stay here and the other half will stay in our future apartment on the second floor of the Ministry Center.

We are looking forward to an exciting, but busy week.  Colby will be helping out with the construction projects and I will be helping out with meal preparations.  We decided that it is best to hold off our language studying while the team is here and just concentrate on helping them get the work done.  Sunday we will have our Easter service and BBQ afterward, a team meeting that night, and then we’ll hit the ground running on Monday morning.

God has blessed us very much with this team being able to come.  Last we heard, they were able to raise up even more money than what they budgeted for, the excess of which will be used to purchase supplies for the projects on this end.  There are 11 members total, including some experienced construction workers as well.  I will try to write again sometime later next week and include a picture of them and how things are going.

Would you join us in praying for safety for the team and efficiency in completing the projects we have for them?  Please pray also for good communication amongst everyone and for protection against spiritual warfare.
