Second Baptist Church, Bowling Green, MO





This group came July 26th and left August 2nd and it is the third trip for some in this group to P.O.P. Many others have been coming since right after the storm hit until now - almost 3 years later. We are so grateful for groups like these who recognize the need and see the opportunity for evangelism through the tragedy named Katrina.

They blessed several families this week with their skills working on their homes. Two families received electrical work. Another family had some heavy duty rough-in plumbing work done and also some hardi-plank installed. All of this physical work led to a wonderful time of spiritual enrichment for this family.

A husband and wife team were involved in visiting and evangelizing the area residents and also led a movie night with free meal and drinks. Everyone enjoyed this time of fellowship with the volunteers.

Also, the camp received some beautification by two wonderful teen girls who were excited to revisit the camp again this year. They painted the outside entryway surrounding the front doors which gave the camp a facelift. They also painted the interior doors and door frames which was also a huge improvement to the inside of our camp.

We are also grateful to the group for sacrificing one of their men to helping us finish some interior work on our home. We are very appreciative of the help we received that puts us ever closer to our own home being complete.

Thank you Second Baptist for another great year. We are ever so grateful for your love and support. May it continue to bring glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
