Day 6-Our Day in Pictures!

Our final day here in Hartselle was a busy one! Each family team had multiple jobs and responsibilities they took on to help at various work sites and back at camp.  The two work sites that still had work to be accomplished were completed and the camp was cleaned and organized to prepare for our departure tomorrow.  Our evening will consist of a dinner out together, worship, time in our family groups for small group discussion, and a final night of fellowship.





Be sure to read below for an update of each family group's hard work from today!  Also, make sure to follow along with our final devotional tomorrow morning.

We greatly appreciate your prayers and support from home this week...they have truly made an impact! Please be in prayer for our safe travels as we head back home tomorrow morning.

Day 6-Iron Servants & G2 T.O.



These two teams spent their final day in VBS here in Hartselle.  They were sad to leave the kiddos they had met and impacted this week.  The kids in the VBS weren't quite ready to say goodbye to this team which had led "the best VBS that had ever come to their daycare".



The Iron Servants & G2 T.O. also spent part of their day cleaning and organizing the dining hall and our main dormitories.



This team has had a busy week and impacted many lives with the love of Christ!

Day 6-Amassed with the Spirit

Amassed with the Spirit spent their morning helping out around camp.  They cleaned and organized some of the buildings on the campsite.  This team also used teamwork to clean out and organize the trailers to get ready for our trip home.





Amassed with the Spirit spent the rest of their afternoon at Joe and Charlee's home with the Incredible Knights of Christ and the Transformers in order to meet Joe and welcome him home from a nursing home.  They couldn't wait to see his reaction to a home that was no more accessible for him to maneuver throughout in a wheelchair.

Day 6-Iron Servants



The Iron Servants spent their final day on their work site today.  They finished their work by adding landscaping to the front, side and back of the house for the homeowner.  Their finished concrete sidewalk was dry and completed today and looked just as if a group of all professionals had done the job.  The landscaping was a nice touch to finish off all their hard work from the week. 

Scott Fairfield shared with me that the homeowner took time this morning to come out and express how much of a blessing all of this was to him.  The team also had multiple opportunities to share the light of Christ with curious neighbors that stopped by to see what was taking place.




Day 6-Incredible Knights of Christ & Transformers



The Transformers moved to be on the work site with the Incredible Knights of Christ today to help them complete the framing and dry walling that needed to take place to complete the project for Joe, the war vet, and the homeowner, his daughter, Charlee.

These teams, along with Amassed with the Spirit, were able to meet Joe and welcome him home as he returned from a nursing home where he had been receiving therapy.  They had been anxiously awaiting this moment to meet Joe and see his reaction to a home that is now more easily-accessible for him in a wheelchair.
