Teamwork Creates Community

Today I saw some great things happen as we all worked together during this third week in AZ. The teams are doing an amazing job in the villages with Santa Rosa this week having the largest crowd. We have heard just tonight of five decisions for Christ in the villages and one on Danny Lopez's team last night after worship. God is at work here and we are rejoicing as He moves in us all.

The trusses began to go up today! We ended our three and one-half hour work day with five trusses up and a great day of teamwork. The joy is watching youth pastors from different states work together and build relationships while serving the body together. My heart was blessed today as I watched Greg Sankey set trusses with Tim and Randy, both O'odhams helping him and serving right alongside him every step of the way. The privilege to serve with some of the church members is a blessing we have longed for and now we are seeing it happen.

Tonight in worship our team led with awesome passion. Holly, Autumn, Robbie, Heather, and Alex did a great job of leading us in worship and sharing tonight. We had a great time singing reading scripture, praying all together. Karen is doing an amazing job in the kitchen keeping us well fed and under budget. It is a great joy to have Barry Coffee back out this week with us and Susie his daughter is a big help in the kitchen.

I am blessed to have such a great team around me these weeks. I am so thankful to the families who are allowing me to benefit from their young people this summer as we serve the King. I have seen so much growth in all of them and am very eager to see what the Father has in store for the remainder of the summer!

Our Biblical community is growing and I simply want to challenge you all who are reading this blog to pray with us for the Spirit to bring us together in community to experience real fellowship with each other and those around us!
