Bayfield, Colorado

 Message from Billy: On Thursday I flew to Bayfield to meet with Pastor Randy Ash of First Baptist where I will be spending most of my summer overseeing the building a new sanctuary. The existing sanctuary is old & small. The church is growing rapidly and needs more room. Actually the pastor and youth pastor have moved their offices down the street to help with the demand for class rooms. Please pray for our guidance in this project so that everyone involved may show GOD's love to the community as we labor to labor to build this multipurpose sanctuary.

There is still plenty of room for more volunteers.  If you are interested and would like more information please contact me BillyLayton2@aol.com or Mark Abernathy with NC Baptist Men mabernathy@ncbaptist.org

These deer were making themselves at home right by the church.

Billy will be there for at least two months, June and July.  I hope to be able to go for 1 or 2 weeks.

Update on Us

It's been a long time since I updated this blog.  We have not been on a mission trip in months but we have still been trying to serve God right here at home. I've been sorting clothes at Faith Christian Ministries.  I never would have believed how much fun it could be going through other people's discards.I was able to paint this shelving unit that was donated with some pretty pastel colors. Here it is in use in the baby section of the store. Billy repaired sheetrock and painted several Sunday School rooms at our church.  Here Billy and Eddie are painting the back entry way into the Family Life Center.Billy and I have been helping with Upward Basketball in the concession stand every Saturday. My daughter Kim is a cheerleader coach.  This is my favorite cheerleader, my granddaughter Michaela.
