Big Creek Mission

We are back home and TIRED!, but such a good tired. We cleaned wall of chalkboards, lockers, wiring, baseboards and other sundry items that are part of a school. Removed remaining desks, left over books, shelves and trash; preparing for the next crew that will be prepping wall and floors for repairs, new tire, and painting. Some of the showers have been installed in the renovated bathrooms! I had a wonderful time spending time with our young people and some from other churches that I have formed relationships with over the last couple of years! Some are already planning for their return for summer missions! How often do you get to here a sophomore or junior in high school talk about how awesome this Big Creek Mission has been in the past and that they don't want to miss this year!?

We had a group from Thomasville, NC join us this weekend and they already have their youth signed up for a week in July! They drove 5 1/2 hours to work on the building. One of the young men I was talking to yesterday as they prepared for the trip home that just being in the school and the anticipation of what God was doing and what could be done through the facility gave him cold chills!

I have been and will continue to pray for your group during their fasting. I think this is a very selfless act that I'm not sure I could do. I pray that God will give you and your group the endurance to finish the race, the rest that is needed, and the grace to reach others for Christ.

Rocky Branch Missionary is a small church with 100-135 on Sunday am. We watch for where God is working and join him there.
