Canaan project

The foundation on the church/school building in Canaan is almost complete. Today Jeff went to meet with the haitian workers there to go into the next step of finishing the foundation. The pre-existing church tent came down last week! What a cool transition and the timing is impecable...the tent was just about in shreads, they have moved to the second school tent for church which will also soon be in shreads.
For the next few days, the guys (Vanessa and I may pound a few nails too) will be building the trusses for the church/school. It's been really cool to see God bringing this all together using so many different people. From funding (this money has come from all over) the project to working on it, it will be amazing to see it finished and who will have been involved by then. We had our last team spend a day shoveling rock & dirt for backfill in the foundation, but there is still a ton to be filled in...yesterday a friend from another organization came to Jeff and asked is he had any physical labor for an unskilled (in the construction field) team of 15...BACKFILL in Canaan! What a blessing to have this help!
Next week ??? (I need more of Jeff's input on this one)getting ready for team July II who will spend the entire week building the church/school.
We hear the team preparing to come is very excited to be part of it, they are all working together in different roles to get funding, supplies, and support one another. A team working this well together before the trip is going to be awesome to see in action here. In our service at PAP Fellowship yesterday, we were reminded that yes, tasks and good works are good and are part of sharing the message of the gospel, but can't replace sharing the gospel with others. Our prayer for this team is that while this is a big task and a great deed, that we would allow God to speak through us to someone who needs to hear His message!
We're also excited to see how God will work in each team member while they are here, how he will change lives in team members as they serve.
