Yet another amazing workday with the Nashville team! We headed back to Lighthouse Ministries to try and finish up the projects we didn't get to yesterday. The team jumped back in doing a lot of painting again and some of the team was helping to remodel one of the apartments to be handicap accessible. When it's all added up we were able to bring 400 man-hours in just 2 days to help further the vision of this ministry.
After cleaning up, Rick Bryant, the director at Lighthouse, thanked the team with great sincerity for all the work we had done. Rick mentioned on several occasions how much joy the team had while working so hard throughout two hot days. He also spoke about one of the recent chapels they had at Lighthouse and how we're called to amplify our lives, to turn it up so others can see and hear Jesus through our lives. Rick affirmed the team that that was exactly what they had been doing on this trip, they were amplifying the impact of their life through serving Jesus.
It was a great day and we even got done early so after some much needed showers, we headed downtown Nashville to spend some time checking out the city and having dinner at a great restaurant with a live blues band! It was some seriously awesome team time!
Now today we're getting ready to head back out to work on some of the houses affected by the flood!
Great job team! Thank you for the blog posts and pictures - it's such a great way for all of us at home to feel connected to the mission! Jordan, we are sorry to hear you are not feeling well again - we are praying for you, we miss you and love you!
