We went to break free rehab for 2 days to help them build a bigger church and to build another dorm for people to stay in. I was on the painting team which was quite a big part of the project because they couldn’t start building the structures unless the wood they were using was painted and varnished since the majority of the building was to be made out of wood. We would bring out the wood planks and lay them out on these beams and we all sat with our tubs and paint brushes painting and varnishing all this wood, there was a lot haha. It was really cool for me to see how well we all work together as a team and how we always do these things with joy. It was awesome for me that we could bring that joyful loving presence into their space. I can imagine that it ministered to and touched them. 

Being on the painting team was so much fun though we got the dirtiest out of everyone there for sure. We got to sit and chat for hours while we painted, we got to have many holy conversations and just got to catch up and have fun together. It was awesome to see the project all come together and to be able to help them like this. Praise God that He also made it possible for us to sow seed into their lives and for everything that He has for us in the future. I would really like to be able to go and minister the love of God by helping out the communities around us more, it was really wonderful. It was many hours working in the sun but to be able to make that shift of doing our work unto the Lord always makes the work we’re doing such a joy.
