Tucker Swamp Baptist Church

This wonderful church group from Zuni, Virginia had many trials and difficulties before leaving home and many of the members who had planned to come were unable to do so. What began as a 25 person team ended as 12 coming. God had planned for them to frame two houses and we weren’t sure how that was going to be possible with such a small group of men. And the other bad news was the forecast for rain at least two of the five days they were to be here.

Why do we ever question or doubt God? He used those who came in a mighty and powerful way. It did not rain during the working hours neither of the days forecast and after splitting the team into two they were able to frame both houses! Both homeowners are praising God for sending them all the way from Virginia to do this work.

God also used this team to minister by way of food this week. Three ladies worked diligently in the kitchen and they fed both families, other workers on the jobsite, our neighbors and all of our own family! We also enjoyed the fellowship of these wonderful Virginians as they ministered to us in all these ways.

Another seven person team came from Jackson, MS to join in the work efforts on Thursday. They helped frame one of the homes and helped one of our neighbors paint his garage.



We thank God for all of you and we hope to see you all again soon.
