Impact Franklinton,LA

Busy, busy day !  Lot's of yard clean up projects for Senior citizens and
lot's of visiting making them know that they are precious people and loved
by God.

We were all blessed when we visited Miss Dora and Miss Janet.  Both have
stories to tell.

Today was a great day filled with significant God Moments...even when
presenting Pastor Jacob with a special blessing from our team.  Ask Pastor
Mike about the red dot and being discovered while trying his best to hide
and capture a special experience on video.

Thank you for praying.  Our team from Oklahoma have given their very, very
best...every day !

Glory !!!!

What a fun day !!!!  PERFECT weather and the students are keeping their energy
level on "overdrive".  Franklinton, LA loves thihs team and the work they are
doing in the community.

I wish you could see the leaders of this Mission Service Team work in such an
encouraging way with their young people. Words can't express my joy and thanks
to God !!!!!  Our team is seeing God with fresh eyes and open hearts to helping
people in need.

We did our projects yesterday and had fun with painting housings and each other.
We did projects around Pastor Jacob's home ( a surprise to him...he's taking
Seminary exams this week ) so we were able to bless Jacob by getting some Spring
work done so he and his wife Kim can spend some enjoyable time together.
Don't ask about the horse story...not pretty....pretty sad but part of our
team's experience.

Last's nights run to the local Wal-Mart was a lot of fun.  "Little things you
know...done in God's love make all the difference"

I wish you all could meet Miss Mary, Miss Lynette, Miss Ida and Dora and Katasha
and Doyle & Doris and Sharon & Joe .  OH I wish you could meet Ed & Rachel !!!
One day you will and know why they are soooooooooooooooo precious !!!!!!!!!

Glory from Franklinton.   God is working as you pray !  Thanks !!!!

Wow...worship and praise and teaching from the Scriptures were ALIVE and
loaded with Holy Spirit blessing and instruction.

Another group is staying with us at Trinity Church, not connected directly

Mayflower Christian Reformemed Church out of Grand Rapids, MI.  SMALL
