I had an amazing first week serving the Lexington Mission Team from Calvary Chapel, Lexington SC! It was such a blessing to see a lot of my friends from the days way back when I was still in youth group. How the Lord is faithful to raise those up for the harvest! I was reminded of how we really are family- a huge family in Christ :) You guys are amazing brothers and sisters!
All week they learned how to be flexible and
yet available when needed. It's all the Lord's timing right? Their aroma and love was left all over this town as they gave their lives away by putting on two kids clubs', completely remodeling a local park, painting the church office, and loving on the Ticos!
We have missed their presence greatly since they have been gone, but are reminded of them often by the work they left behind. Here are just a few evidences to that:
Kid's Club at the Park on Saturday!
This is Palmera who is great friends with Daniel and Sarah. He is incredibly skilled at making things out of Palm Trees (hence his nickname)- really, he can almost make anything you ask. This is how he makes most of his income.
A beautiful little girl at Kid's Club!
Some of the work the guys did cleaning up the park. They cut down all these trees and repainted a lot of the benches there.
(Funny side note- this guy here on the ladder, Gorge... totally fell off the top later on during the day, with a machete in his hand... head first- praise the Lord he is still alive and ok! But.. it did give the kids a laugh)
This is the second kid's club at the North Side of Town. Here was the first time anyone had a chance to go back there and minister to this community.
The church office where they worked hard cleaning and repainting. What a blessing now, the staff team can finally move in (haha meaning Sarah and Daniel can move boxes and boxes out of there house) and begin doing ministry here!
Just some of the animals you will see here!
The entire team for the week! We will miss you guys! Thanks for all the hard work and serving you did!! :)
"Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."
