Today instead of posting a boring summary of what we did today, which was mainly finishing the work we started yesterday. Everyone on the team completed the sentence, “Today I learned…”

  • Mathias

  • Helen

  • Yosh

  • Daryl

  • Steve

  • Mo
  • that I could be on a roof that is two stories high.

  • Carol

  • Ron

As you can tell we have a variety of different things that we each have learned in the last 24 hours. The Lord has blessed us with a very diverse team. It has been a blessing working together an seeing everyone use their unique talents to bring glory to God.

We have been enjoying Mo’s daily challenges and our morning and evening devotions. We have been exploring together various aspects of God in small groups. The women have been much more faithful to meet together than the men.
