Day 4-VBS
The Illuminators and G2 T.O. spent their second day teaching Vacation Bible School to some of the local kids of Hartselle. They were excited to find the kids eagerly awaiting their arrival when they got to the daycare for a second day of VBS.
Today's VBS included a snack of vanilla ice cream and apple pie, games, crafts, and singing. One of the most memorable parts of VBS for our youth today was washing the feet of the kiddos to teach them more about Jesus and a bible story. Kimberly, one of our middle school youth, thought it was very funny that this caused them to giggle a lot. However, through all the giggles, they were teaching them about Jesus' love for them!
As these two family groups prepared to leave for the day, a few of the children at the daycare eagerly asked if they were coming back tomorrow and expressed that they didn't want them to leave at the end of the week.
There's no doubt that hearts are being reached with the love of Christ!
Day 4-Incredible Knights of Christ
The Incredible Knights of Christ were eager to show off their hard work when we made our last stop of the day at their work site. By early afternoon, they had completed a wheelchair ramp off the front porch with railing. Their hard work was definitely noticeable!
The homeowner and her neighbor were quick to express their gratitude and amazement at the hard work taking place by the youth. The Incredible Knights of Christ were blessed with a lunch provided by their homeowner. She was also eager to provided any extra materials that they needed as they worked.
The rest of the afternoon consisted of working on the door frame in the hallway to widen it to be wheelchair accessible. They will continue on this project tomorrow.

Day 4-Transformers
Brian Withrow's team, the Transformers, had accomplished a lot on their work site when we met up with them after lunch. Although they are working in a small area, everyone was busy at work doing their part.
This team had continued to work on their ramp off the front porch of the house. Team members were working together to drill holes and screw boards to the ramp. Other youth were using circular saws to cut boards for the ramp. Some were adding boards for support underneath the ramp.
The Transformers completed their ramp and look forward to help another family group as the week progresses.
Day 4-Iron Servants
We met up with the Iron Servants as a steady rain started to come down. Although it was raining on their site, this team continued to work hard with positive attitudes.
Some of the team had paint brushes in hand. Others were working on measuring and cutting boards to start the ramp. Part of the team was on the roof ready to work and others were on ladders working on the soffit.
By lunch, they had painted almost all of the trim, were making steady progress on the ramp, and were near finished repairing holes in the soffit of the house.
This team will continue working on the ramp at their work site tomorrow and then begin on any other smaller jobs that the homeowner has shown interest in being completed.

Day 4-Amassed with the Spirit
We started our morning out visiting Amassed with the Spirit in Joppa, Alabama. As we waited for the team to pick up some supplies for their site, we ventured around the town to look at some of the tornado damage. One road just about a mile from this team's work site had been almost leveled from the tornado.
As soon as Amassed with the Spirit made it to their work site, they were busy at work! We were able to meet the sweet homeowner, Mary, and her dog, Patty.
Today their work consisted of bleaching and scrubbing mold off the siding, weed-eating around the house, and repairing a damaged part of the roof with new shingles. Everyone was busy at work, whether it be working on the roof, scrubbing the house, or holding a ladder for someone else.
This team completed all the work on their site today and then spent their afternoon helping The Incredible Knights of Christ on their work site.
