Day 6

I have to admit, it's Day 6 and I'm feeling a little tired! But it's all worth it. You can click on the photo above to see a slide show of the day.

I got to visit a home that New Covenant is working on. The home owner was so excited that someone was coming to work on her house today. Charlie Snodgrass and John Herder led a team of high school students on this job.

Two days ago I visited a home to take a look at a furnace that New Covenant purchased for a family. Larry and his buddy from Kansas are almost finished installing it. But the most exciting thing is that they invited the home owner for dinner and they came! What a joy to get to meet them and to tell them that we are praying for them. They stayed for our worship time and wanted to make a donation to Eight Days of Hope!

Tomorrow is our last full day. There will be a few tears shed tomorrow night. New friendships have been made and hearts have been knit together. Challenges have been overcome as we tackled them together and lives have been changed.

Who ever thought that people would come to Cedar Rapids from all corners of the United States with a common mission to bring hope and healing? Our city has been blessed, our lives have been enriched. Thank you for caring! Thank you for sharing! Thank you for coming!
