We hosted the Portage FM Teens a few weeks back - who did just an amazing job. The week we enjoyed with that group kept us "flying high" for days and days! What joy - to be connected to such amazing kids and adults! What a privilege it is to work side by side with such quality people!
But, you know, after they left - the building sure felt quiet. And lonely.
Then, Westland and their teens - 31 of them! showed up to work one Thursday night, and then another 14 showed up from WFM on Saturday. And boy, did those kids and adults work! They worked and worked and worked - and like their PFM brothers and sisters, had such an amazing spirit of joy!
So, after WFM left, again, we were flying high! So much accomplished in such a little amount of time. So much joy and so much of God's spirit all around. Wow.
And the building is looking gooooood! The third week of September is just around the corner - that's the week when all the students will show up for their first week of creating at The Harbor. I can't wait!
Before each work team leaves, we have them sign the door. That is, on the back of the mechanical room door, I've printed a verse - from Philippians - which says "I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel..." I explain that all the names on the door are partners in sharing the gospel. Whenever I see those names - some of those names are your names - I am deeply moved and thankful.
Thanks Helpers!
