Back-to-school Pool Party

Well most of you are into your second week of school and the familiar sights and sounds lockers, soy burgers, teachers, and the occasional fire drill are already fresh in your mind.

In our opinion, there is no better way to kick of a year filled with SOL's, SAT's and lots of other acronyms than by relaxing by the pool for one last time before Fall truly sets in.

So you are invited THIS FRIDAY (9/16) to our back-to-school pool party at the Leebricks. Main meal is provided but please bring a side dish or a drink to share. And we promise you it will be way more fun than writing a 3 page essay!

Meet at the church at 5pm. Remember modesty with your swimsuits!

Gloucester Final Full Workday

Today was our final full workday. All of our crews finished their projects... PRAISE THE LORD!

We've still got a really big block party and a free showing of the new Winnie the Pooh movie we are helping with for Bridge Point Church tomorrow before we leave.

Continue to pray for us and for the people of Gloucester. There are still SO MANY displaced and hurting families here.

Below are some pictures of where the Tornado touched down just outside the neighborhood where we were working. It basically cleared an entire forest and field.


If it had touched down just 1 block earlier it would have devastated the entire neighborhood and there would have been MANY casualties. For sure, God was gracious and instead He let it touch down in this field.

Gloucester Final Full Workday

Day 4 Gloucester Pictures

It's been a busy day here in Gloucester, so I don't have a lot of pictures.

But one of the greatest stories has been with our team finishing the wheel chair ramp. This precious lady was so filled with joy she began to cry as she thanked our students.

Here are some pictures from their team:

Day 3 Gloucester Mission Trip

Another hot, but another great day in Gloucester today!

These teens are working so hard and it is incredible to watch them interact with each other and the community.

Part of our job this week is also to help a new SBCV church plant called Bridge Point Church. Our middle school team had the chance to help sand a truck that donated to the church. They use this truck every Sunday to set up and take down their church because they do not have their own building. The guys worked really hard, but then relaxed by chasing chickens and taking a dip in the pool (all while John Carney slept on a hammock).







Here's our team working on a ramp for a handicapped lady here in the community.


We have other teams cleaning the local movie theater for free. Hopefully, we will get some pictures from them later on this week.
