OKC 2017 Team Presentation

On 6/11/2017, the team shared with our friends, supporters and some of the Sunday school classes.

In our last official event as a team, we had an overview of the trip, then four newbies came up to share their experiences.

Craig K – Team Intro: (1:15)
Jeff H – Recap work performed (5:02)

Kevin T (via video) (8:29) :
was on the road, but wanted to share his story both of how circumstances allowed him to go on the trip, and what he learned as part of that process.

Brandon (19:32) :
spoke on the opportunity to go on the trip, previously knowing few people on the team, and moments of quiet, humility and God’s goodness during the trip

Roz (30:29) :
had an unexpected healing moment that could only come in community of church and a supportive family.

Kevin L (45:10) :
shared from the perspective of a dad, and how that related to his relationship with his Heavenly Father, God.

Video (52:39) :
And we wrapped it up with Jimmy’s video, ending in Chris H’s touching prayer on our last day on site.

Thanks to Gary M for shooting and editing this video!

OKC 2017 Presentation Video

We had our team presentation at church this morning, and we’ll have video of the testimonies and sharing soon.

But we wanted to share with you the video portion that we presented, a 15 minute recap of our trip.

Thanks to Jimmy for editing the video, and for all who contributed to the videos and photos during the trip, and for Gary editing from home while we were out in OKC

Meet our Team-Kevin L (and our last meeting in Calif)

 Roz, attentive at our meeting

 It’s still a few weeks away, but with Easter and all the activities surrounding it, we had our last team meeting before we leave for OKC. We went over our itinerary, packing list, and had a round table discussion exchanging tips we’ve learned over the years.

 

Miss Shirley’s Gofundme

Chris C has been corresponding with our site supervisor from COHFH, Chris H. The tentative plan for our work week in OKC is 1 day on new construction (with Jose H) and 4 days on a Critical Home Repair project that Evergreen SGV will sponsor.

We will be sponsoring the home of Shirley S who lost her husband to cancer last year. COHFH has set up a GoFundMe page for her (https://www.gofundme.com/shirley-s-home-repair) if you want a little bit more information. The money raised here along with the funds from Evergreen SGV will go towards the much needed repair work on Shirley’s house.

Support Groups

Each team member has a small support group to support them materially and spiritually for the project. This has always been helpful to be a sounding board for the team member, plus making sure that logistical and spiritual needs for the individual are uniquely met.

Meet Kevin L

After the meeting, Jimmy was able to shoot video on our last newbie, Kevin L. We welcome Kevin aboard the team. Impressed that he was able to talk off the cuff without any warning.
