As we finish our efforts here we looked at Philipians 2 and Paul's commending us to shine for Jesus, to work hard, to make sacrifices. We talked about what we do for God. Sometimes we are able to do physical labor on a mission trip like we are today. Our families also give sacrificially when they stay behind and live victoriously and joyfully in our absence even though it means extra work for them. Many of you have given money or your time for prayer in supporting us - all gifts to God. Other times what you do for God is providing encouragement to someone through kind words, or sharing a meal, or helping them with their labors. We will leave this place with new friends, and people to pray for as we know more about their struggles here. This morning we were able to take the bus down to the market for a couple of hours while meetings were going on in the building. After noon we got back to making some noise and wrapping up what God has assigned us to complete here. The cabinets are installed, the tile on the walls, and the walls got painted. The rest will have to be finished by those who stay here. Then we headed to supper about 7:30 (Italian: pizza & pasta). Praise be to God for his grace and placing some of His children in this city! Thank you for tracking with us on this Journey 4 God. Pray for a safe and quick day of travel home. Amen.
