Why Go So Far . . . . . . . .
We go so far to be part of a travel van and to be part of the Witches Trials in Williamsburg, Va., while we are guided by the worship team at morning devotions and later ride the Lockness Monster at Busch-Gardens.
We go so far to swim in the Atlantic, which many have never seen, then the youth and adults plan their strategies for their work site, at Plymouth , NC. Where we learn the Holy Spirit was holding up a church’s roof until Jesus sent us, “the right team” to fix it, and because a woman was evicted from her home by her brother-in-law and she was left to live in a store front, which we helped to wire, plumb, drywall, paint, frame windows and lay flooring for her, a sister in Christ, to turn her key in the lock.
We go so far to watch our youth make positive life changing decisions, use power tools, wire electric switches and repair sagging roofs, while deciding NOT to go to the beach but stay on task. To help a dying church use it’s resources to rebuild their community, where the Mayor takes no pay and many have turned a blind eye to Plymouth’s need.
We go so far to build relationship with, the forgotten of Plymouth, NC where many have no running water due to lack of income. Learning about the CROSSES so many bare, has given us an education that money can not buy. We have come to witness our faith and to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ.
You ask why do we go so far? And Jesus replied:
“:I tell you the truth what ever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
Matthew 25:40
Amen!
