This was a day filled with experiences of doing justice (helping people who have nothing), loving mercy (and one another) and walking humbly with God (grateful for the life God has given us).
One group was working on a single story roof. The house leaked like a sieve and we could see why. It was hard to know where to start. But our kids were great. They worked hard when there was work to do and then played with the children of the neighborhood when there wasn't.
The other group helped clean up a place and then led the Kids Club. They had a great time with the children (as always).
We'll have some of our youth write about their experiences later this evening. Right now they are playing a game together while we wait for our turn at dinner. The time they spend with each other is as valuable as anything.
Here are some pictures of the day from the rooftop gang's perspective.
Hello everyone this is Theo talking. Today we worked on a roof that was experiencing leaks. We had a great time and a great bonding experience while unscrewing the large sheets of tin from the roof and then putting down a solid wooden structure. The roof was so rotten, a man from another group put his foot through the roof. I had a great time today and look forward to helping others and meeting new people.
