Hurricane Matthew Lumberton Rebuild–September 10-16, 2017

Mission Trip Adventures 9.161-Cheryl & Antony; 2-Park Place BC, Thomasville;  3-Paul Langston & JE Skinner; 4-Feeding Region 3-Earl, RW, Doreen & Scott (All back for a second week); 5-Grey Stone BC, Durham; 6-Daystar Church, Greensboro; 7-Christ Community Church-Pinehurst. Mission Trip Adventures 9.16-001 The number of volunteers was low this week but they made up for the low numbers with the desire to serve to their full ability as the LORD provided. They have gotten three more homes ready for final inspection on Monday as well as moving other jobs way along in the rebuild process.  Some of them love serving the LORD so much you would say they just dug right into it.  In reality Paul and Ed were under homes and in attics and when you sweat and do that you gonna get dirty.  J E came down for a few days to help us get some cabinets finished and then he built another much needed shelf in the tool room.

As for the concrete we saw a portion of the dock area started to sink in so we cut and dug it out to find out most likely the fill dirt was not properly packed before it was poured 40 years ago.  But it is now all repaired.

Governor Cooper is promoting a Volunteer Day in NC on October 7th.  Lumberton will be one of the work sites. We are looking for leaders with rebuild skills to help lead teams on the 7th.  So please call us to sign up to serve.
