Senior Adult Revival – The service at Greensburg was wonderful. I’m so thankful I’m a senior adult and got to spend three mornings with the other senior adults from this area. I feel so blessed!
Kentwood was represented by a number of people each day, but today, one of the oldest, if not the oldest member was there. Ninety-four year old, Mrs. Susie Wales was there and so proud to be with all the others.
Hope Center
Saturday, youth and adults from several churches moved in shelving and clothing. This was the first big step leading to what has been done since then.
This afternoon there were three men and five ladies working. There was a strong sense of unity among the people, even though we were from Roseland, East Fork, Kedron, and Kentwood. That’s the way it has been. Some days the people were from these and other churches, but no one person or church has had to do all the work. Tomorrow morning, ladies from New Zion will begin work at 8:00 and 9:00. I don’t know who else will join us but I know God is already planning who will be there and what will be accomplished. Is he sending you?
Four new nine foot pipes have been installed to hang clothes were installed this afternoon. They are already being put to use.
This middle of the afternoon a truck and trailer arrived WITH TWO NEW AIR CONDITIONERS. The owner of the building arrived shortly. They were hard at work on the first air conditioner. I don’t have a time, but the building should begin to get cool some time tomorrow. We will be so thankful!
More great news – Tomorrow, clay and gravel will arrive to make the circle around the building. That will be a big and needed improvement.
I wish we had taken before and after pictures. It is so amazing to see how much work has been done. You cannot appreciate the difference unless you saw the building Monday.
There was a representative of Second Harvest there this morning. I’m not sure when the first food will be distributed, but Tuesday is the day set aside to begin registering people.
Sylvester Humphrey said God surely had to be in this by the way the ladies were working in those “warm” conditions. He mentioned a specific name, but I’ll just say “ladies”. I certainly can see God’s hand at work.
This project began months ago when it was planted in two hearts. Since then, associational leadership, an associational missions team, a finance team, pastors, sixteen churches, the La. Baptist Convention, and others have joined this team.
The Sunday School lesson Sunday was about unity in Christ. It has been wonderful to see people from five different churches working at the same time with a common purpose. We have seen the beginning of a cooperative effort of people and churches with a project that will impact the people of Tangipahoa and St. Helena in a big way.
May God richly bless each volunteer and each visitor/customer. Each one could possibly leave Hope Center with more than than expected. They could leave with Jesus in their hearts and lives. God is surely at work!
