Running through terminal to see if we can make connection.
Let’s see what happens..
Lifesong are guys younger and taller. We’re taking escalator.
If we can make it, plane leaves in 5 minutes.
Okay. They held the plane.
On board. Arrival of continental 137 flight will be just after 4:00pm scheduled time.
Fellow next to me says that they never hold planes for him. Explained how 20 guys came to work for habitat. He said it was a good reason.
See you soon.
Our outbound flight from Biloxi to Houston is leaving a little late, and there is a chance we won’t make our scheduled flight to LAX
We will keep you updated.
Our outbound flight from biloxi is delayed and there is a considerable chance we will be delayed and/or rerouted to a different airport in the so cal area.
we will post our flight info as we find more information
thanks!
On the plane, about to leave LAX. We had a mini meeting with the Lifesong team.
13 men from Evergreen left LAX, joined by 8 from Lifesong.
The lifesong team includes 2 firefighters and 2 law enforcement professionals. We’re intimidated… well, at least I am :). Don’t worry Evergreen, we’ll try to represent you well…
Thank you so much to our supporters for joining us for prayer and a very encouraging send-off, including our recently returned coed team, as well as Chris C. Chris had the difficult but very understandable choice to stay at home to support his wife during the loss of her father. As much as we all wanted him to come, family does come before ministry. Our prayers are with his family. If you can continue to pray for our team as we venture forth in faith.
A total of 90 team members and supporters from both EvergreenSGV and Lifesong came out to LAX to send the combined Mens’ teams. With encouragements from Pastor Kyle, and team lead, Craig K, we tried to keep our focus on not just building houses with hammers and nails, but building bridges to people. We hope that the sacrifices that many have made to send us will be honored.

Leader Craig’s remarks
There are families, friends, and workplaces that were left behind to make this week happen. Vacations were given up to serve people we will never see. We do this not to be noble, but to serve, and let others know that there is a God who loves them, and chooses to work through His people. We will do our best to be His eyes, His hands, to serve them and give them hope. Hope eternal in a God that will never fail them.
With that in mind, we gladly received the prayers of those that are sending us. We serve with their prayers, well wishes and support.
If you wish to welcome the team home again….
