Another great week in Lumberton. Several teams with hearts ready to serve GOD whereever he calls. Teams started another home by doing rough in plumbing and electric, then another team moved right in installing insulation and subfloor.  Several volunteers painted , hung sheet rock, installed plumbing and electrical fixtures, laid shingles and installed floor covering. No volunteers next week but by mid May we should complete four more homes.  Volunteers seem to be on a roll now getting work done at a steady pace and still finding time to share the gospel.  Had two salvations this past week.

Another great week of team work. Teams worked on many jobs from rough ins to final trimmings. Flooring was installed in three homes & trim work in four homes,. Three homes had sheet rock sanded, floors and walls cleaned and then primed.  Two more homes had rough in plumbing and electric finished and inspected. Sheet rock hanging was started in one home as well as some framing repairs made. On Saturday a team took out the subfloor in a home so new subfloor and rough-in plumbing and electric can be done next week.

We are still receiving request for help. Some of them had been waiting on mitigation funding but now realize that may be several more years. Therefore they are asking for help now so they can return home. So give Ann a call to set up a week for your group.

We have been very busy in Lumberton this week. Several teams came with a desire to serve so much was done. Sheet rock hanging completed on four homes, four interiors painted and flooring started.  Rough in plumbing and electric done on two homes. Shingles laid on two homes. Vinyl siding and metal trim installed as well as subfloor laid in two homes. I know I have missed something however it was a great week and GOD’s hands were seen many times.

One team worked at completing a home they helped start last year. While they were working Leonard a neighbor who had helped them with tear out came by. They talked and asked if he had been using the study bible they gave him last year. He smiled and responded YES but my daughter asked if she could read it so he gave it to her. So the team gave him another one.
