Day Four

Today our teams went to several different locations.
One of our teams returned to Honey Suckle Biblical Gardens. We were able to complete the support to a pergola that was damaged. Tomorrow, we plan to complete the lattice. We were able to cement in doors that formed a fence at the property. We were also able to assist Terry, the owner, with computer support to help her write the important grants that she needs for additional funding for her garden. And of course we were able to weed some more gardens.
One of our teams went to New Beginnings. We were able to organize their stock area. They completed what would take their staff years to do in one day. They sorted and organized thousands of hangers and the guys helped take down a wall. We were thanked several times for the help we were able to give.
Another team was able to go and help more families in Sewell Valley. The families that we have been able to assist are so grateful for the work that our students have accomplished.
The last place we were able to help was Center of Hope. This was a thrift store that is run by all volunteers. The money that is made is all turned into donations. They have an apartment on the second floor that they are able to rent out to those in need. They also help those in the community with their financial needs. They call this Tammy's Second Story. Tammy has been a staple in the community. She was a very giving person. She not only gave her time, but also financially. This location was also incredibly grateful for the help they received.
Our students here at Bentheim are hard workers! I hope you are all very proud of them.
We ended the night with a water balloon fight. Everyone here had a blast and it was a great way to cool down. 
 This week they have all had many opportunities to share the love of Jesus.
Unfortunately, the internet service here is not ideal and I am unable to add photos easily. I can't wait to share pictures with you all at the church service this Sunday. Thank you for your prayers and support this week.
