Groups1We put out an emergency call for crew chiefs and boy did we get them.  We could not have made it without them. 6-Ray; 7-Sid, Michael, Paul L., Paul M. & Walt; 8-Sid; 9-Chris, Roger & Rodney; 10-Paul L; 11-Robert with Cookie, the youth group leader.

Beech GlenThe Beech Glen group came with a servants heart willing to try anything.  They insulated two homes, finished a tear out on another.  After all that fun they laid laminate floors in one home while installing floor joist in another.  Wesley Memorial also joined us for the week. They work on three different homes doing vinyl siding, tile floors, trim work and painting.

Youth workingThe youth group was very large and split into several teams.  They hung dry wall, laid shingles, installed a metal roof, installed crawlspace insulation,  Cleaned out a crawl pace and rest of floor joist on a home.  One of the teams finished painting a lot of molding which had been donated.  A special THANK YOU to all the men and ladies who stepped up to help lead these youth.  It turns out they were not only talented construction workers but they were also great teachers. The youth commented that they first learned why we are in Lumberton and then they learned about a skill they can now use to help others in sharing the gospel.
