THIS WEEK OF April 20 was another week of progress for the rebuild of Liberty Hill Church. We have Pastor Clay Austin of First Baptist of Blountville Tn, along with 5 members. And Jeff Griffin and Chuck Johnson of Calvary Baptist of Erwin,Tn.
They have worked on finishing the outside walls, roof and softfit on fellowship building,also the steeple was erected on main building which is really nice it can be seen afar.
What a wonderful Lord that we serve as work is to start next week with another group of 27 coming in to start inside walls and insulation.
Everett, George and Roby have gotten the RV sites ready with water, sewer and electricity. We have 2 RV’s staying at the work site and coming back to the church for their meals that are prepared each day by Joyce.
Roby McBride, who also is a great addition to the work being done, is here for 2 weeks.
This man is truly a man with a servant’s heart.
Margaret is getting more calls daily from volunteers asking to come and help. She keeps us all together and in line. There is paperwork always and she knows where, who,and how to get it done. What a amazing skill and always willing to serve.
It is awesome how the Lord sends few numbers on teams, but the quality of work that can be done, so that more teams come and do another job. Everyone who is involved has a job to do.
Sadness is always a part of this work,as people come and then leave,it leaves you with a sense of loneliness and very thankful to have met them and you know in your heart that God puts them great folks along our paths throughout life.
This Saturday we will come to say goodbye to a couple who have been here 3 weeks to help with the steel structure. We are so grateful and thankful for John and LynnWorley, of Acworth Ga as they have so graciously served the Lord with their talents and knowledge that He has bestowed to them. We wish them blessing from God and will truly miss them.
May they know that our prayers and best wishes go with them, along with hugs and sadness in our hearts because we are all the family of God.When we respond to a crisis,it is not just because of the need, but because the Lord wants us to touch people’s lives, to care for their hurt and show His LOVE and COMPASSION
