The Faces of Love

Here are pictures of some of the many people whom we call "Family".

This week has been special with the addition of many new folks coming for their first time. All have been touched by the outpouring of love and concern for each of the Builders and their families. Our daily meals, devotionals and testimonies are more important to the ministry of Builders For Christ than any building that we do.

Many people come away from these mission trips with a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit and a new sense of purpose and spiritual focus. Lives are saved and transformed. Hardened hearts are restored. So the "building" that takes place is more of the Heart & Soul than that of a physical building.

Construction Continues

We have made great progress since last Friday. Saturday saw the completion of all the exterior walls and some of the interior walls along with electrical wiring and rough-in work. Rain came in the afternoon Saturday so we put up our tools a little early. But it is needed here so we are grateful the God meets both our needs and those of the community.

We took time out and worshiped together at Spring Arbor on Sunday. Brother Guy Weathers from Indian Creek Baptist Church in Mineral Wells took the pulpit and delivered a great message for both the families of the community as well as the Builders. That evening, we had an outdoor fellowship in the parking lot with food, games, a movie inside and lots of conversation outside.

We got back to work on Monday and completed the interior and exterior walls along with preparing for hanging of the trusses. Again, the rain came in the afternoon and forced us to shut down earlier than planned. Yet, we got the work done that He wanted us to do that day.

Today, we are setting the roof trusses and will begin to hang plywood decking on the roof plus other materials in preparation for enclosing the building.

Vacation Bible School started on Monday at Spring Arbor and their attendance has been awesome with a total of 48 children and 27 workers so far. Both local families as well as Builders families have participated in VBS this year so it is expected to be one of the biggest VBS events in Spring Arbor history.
