God did some amazing things in the lives of our youth this year. One of them even committed their life to full time ministry! The Sioux City WC project completed 11 jobs that included everything from roofing and wheelchair ramps to building garages from the ground up.
A the coolest thing about the trip for me was getting to see our home owner use the ramp that we had built. Our home owner had recently returned from the nursing home recovering from pneumonia. She had a set of large steps in the front of her home that took every bit of energy to go up and down when she tried to leave. This caused her to just stay at home and have her daughter take care of her. We put a new roof on the house and built the ramp and on Friday she walked down it on her way to a doctor appointment. What a cool moment to see that we could help her with something as simple as a ramp. Hopefully it will help her get out of the house more as she continues on the road to recovery.
Another cool moment happened in the service today. Our church has two services and the second service needs some extra chairs put up. I asked some of my youth to help and all of them stood up without complaint and put up all the chairs that we needed. Hopefully this attitude is contagious!
I will leave you with some pictures of the trip.
