Without the help of God's men and women we would be stagnant
and unable to move toward the visions God has given us for
this mission. Below you will find pictures of just a few of
our brothers in the Lord who have given of themselves unselfishly
and with cheerful multi-talented vigor for His cause. We cherish
their help, their words of instruction, wisdom and -most of
all, the fellowship of the Spirit.
You can't see him very well, except for his red hat, but
Don Corp deftly wields his Bobcat and very ably renders tons
of dirt into a landscaping work of art. We will get a better
picture of Don in the future.
Without the help of Don Kirkpatrick, and his lovely wife
Bonnie, much of what has been accomplished on this mission
would still be waiting to be done. Here he is pictured digging
out the basement of the "All Purpose Building" in
preparation for the concrete floor.
Vernon (Vern) Anderson (pictured above) and Nathan (Nate)
Hale (pictured below at far left) are two men who have spearheaded
the work crews composed of men from First Evangelical Free
Church's "Men On The Move" who have offered pragmatic
and very real help to missions around the world.
Promise: We will get a better picture of
Nathan Hale (far left) in the future as well as Don Corp!
His ancestor was buried a mere ten miles from here in the
1830s by none other than, captain of volunteers in the Blackhawk
War, Abraham Lincoln! He is also related to the lady that
petitioned Lincoln and Congress on behalf of our favorite
holiday and she is thus credited with the first official instituting
of Thanksgiving.
Not exactly Iwo Jima but......
We leave you with a picture that embodies the spirit of the
Christian teamwork that has been so present here. To the our
Christian brothers and sisters who have contributed finances
or who have been here giving their blood, sweat and skills
(by God's grace, not too many tears), we want to take this
opportunity to say a very heartfelt..... THANK YOU!!
