FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF CHICKAMAUGA, GA June 2009

As you scroll across the pictures of the beautiful little faces of the children who were recipients of this wonderful groups efforts to have Backyard Bible Club in the extreme heat of this particular June, you can surely see God at work. I can't remember a June this hot and yet these wonderful servants brazed the heat each day to do His work with some of His most treasured, the children. And we say this with the utmost respect, not all of His workers were young, most were of good age. Which goes to show, whether young or old, all can be used of God if we are willing no matter what the circumstances!!

The others in the group, the highly skilled men and women of the construction type, were used by God with their talents and gifts in this area. So much work was done in one short week it was once again simply amazing what God can do.

Some of the work included working in a local church installing ceramic tile flooring. Installing insulation and sheetrock in the home of one of our Waveland residents whose home was completely washed away in the storm. Two of the men came back a couple of weeks later to complete the sheetrock finishing. The care shown was completely mind boggling to our resident who is ecstatic about the work that was done.

The group also helped another family who they had met the year after the storm while here working with Samaritan's Purse organization. The wife came to the camp and gave her story of what happened to she and her husband in the midst of Katrina as they both stayed and suffered serious injury's both physically and emotionally. But with God's help they are trying to overcome both.

This was the first time FBC of Chickamauga came to work with Power of Prayer Ministries. We surely hope they make this home for mission work in the Gulf Coast of MS. Thank you so much for all of the work you have done here.

Pleasantdale Baptist Church, MS, June 2009

Pleasantdale did it again. They came in for a few days and worked themselves silly in those few short days! We don't know how they do it except that they are young and full of energy and so willing to work hard for the Lord.

Some of the men worked on a home that is just now in the framing stage. They worked installing blocking inside the walls of the home and blessed the owner with the next phase of the work nesessary to continue framing.

The females did a variety of what they always do and seem to do really well. Clean yards, cut grass and this time they pressure washed a home and made it look new again. But most importantly they did this work with happiness and care that showed God's love come shining through for all to see and feel. It is work like this that continues to be such a shining light through the darkness to those who need it and helps us bond with the community people.
