2018 Group 3 Day 3

And yet another great day.  You will likely hear that every day. I will be sure to let you know if that is not the case.  Today also started with worship.  Pretty glorious to sing praises to God with 64 other men.  And after worship, to the projects as today is our...

2018 Group 3 Day 2

What a spectacular day but man am I tired.  Considering the 5 hours of sleep last night and working on construction projects all day today, I am feeling it.  But the blessings today were awesome.   Today as a team, we worked on a new church building, new classrooms at...

Wow, what a day!  64 men converged on San Antonio TX to begin Day 1 of Group 3.  There were men from 9 states and 2 countries represented in this rag-tag army set to work for God, whatever He would lead us to do.  But really, the day began prior to getting into San...

2018 Group 2 Day 2

We started the day early around 6 am to give everyone time to get some breakfast and some good strong coffee. Unless you have a good nose or some one is kind enough to share the top secret information, you have to be pretty persistent when it comes to getting coffee....

2018 Group 2 Day 1

Great to be a part of something much bigger than I’m used to. There were some delays and unexpected scheduling issues with air travel for some people, but as best as I can tell, everyone one made it. I was excited to see some of the brothers I met a couple years...
