2019 ~ Year in Review, Part 1

I thought it best to catch up with a year in review post....or two! So here goes;


January 2019~
   The major project this month was the phase one project at Calvary Baptist Church
 in Frackville, PA (as stated in the last post). Here are a few pictures at this stage...

The church office is through the window,
Pastor's office is the first door on the left.

  office from the other angle and after
  demo work.

And after.

















Other projects in January included ;
 helping with a water leak at Grace Baptist, many projects around our home
church, and meeting with two local pastors about upcoming projects.

 February ~
   The major project this month was the completion of phase one at Calvary Baptist!

A beautiful fellowship hall and bathroom on the same floor as the auditorium!


 Other projects this month included ;
 helping at Bible Baptist Church in Leola, participating in a church work day at Grace Baptist Church, and various projects at our home church (there are always many things to do there!)

 March ~
 While there were no major projects this month, there was much to do!
One of the things Terry enjoys is helping our senior saints with projects around their homes. While he doesn't do big things (usually a plumbing fix or other simple things), it brings great joy to be able to help them! And there were quite a few this month!

We also were preparing for a trip to Texas at the end of the month. Before we left though, we received a phone call from a pastor friend who had taken a position at Massillion Baptist College. They needed help converting the top floor of a dorm house into their apartment. Because we had only a few days (literally!), we drove out Tuesday to assess the situation, Terry worked on some things on Wednesday, then we drove home Thursday to prepare to fly out to Texas Saturday!

This would begin 20 1/2 weeks of ministering in 9 places!

April ~
 Three of the four weeks this month were spent at Bearing Precious Seed in El Paso,
 Texas.We participated in the Juarez Project the first week, where we went in & out 
 of Mexico for three days to different areas handing out Spanish John & Romans.

This church was started as a result of the previous year's Juarez Project!

The following two weeks were spent on many projects around the BPS campus.
Windows were the main project but other things were done as well.... like sweet
fellowship the Hector & Ofelia!

Cut trim to fit around the rocks inside the building!

I cleaned all the portable a/c unit filters

Fixed door closures

Removed a swamp cooler and patched the hole

So much more could be said and shown about our time here. What a blessing!

We made it home the day before Resurrection Sunday and were able to enjoy that day with family!

We had a week to get our truck ready for inspection before heading out to Wellsville, NY to put a new roof on a Pastor's house. (This project was not asked for, Terry saw the need while we were visiting a few months back) We left the 29th to begin that project.....

May ~
 Many big projects this month! The first was that roof in NY.....

 

                                Praise the Lord for safety, help and good weather!

Arriving home late Friday night, Terry had just a few days before taking off again!
This time it was back to Massillion, Ohio.....

From these....... to this......

Cabinets hung, wiring run, flooring helped with & that is it!

He drove home Saturday night, had Sunday to rest (with church too!),
then took off Monday morning at 5AM on a flight to Katy, TX!
A pastor friend moved there from PA, so they took a trip to see what all
would need to be done in July......

The future parsonage

*More pictures from this project will come in the next post.

Arriving home Saturday there was only a week to get ready for the next trip/project...

 The work carried over into June....

There were other plumbing things done as well; water & drain lines were run to the kitchen and upstairs bathroom, and a hot water heater was installed.

We arrived back home with *almost* a week before camp. Terry did not serve there this year, but Erin, Josiah & I all served as counselors. It was a GREAT week, as usual!

Morning devotion spot.....My favorite place!

Fun & Games

Competition!

Honoring the camp cook

That brought us to the end of June!

 To God be the glory! Great things He has done!




And with just a few days to get ready we would be off again......
