Our ministry is not only service to the organization for which we are assigned but, in many ways, they ministry to us and our team. This past week has been very busy with many different experiences.
Work---This was the week the concrete was poured and the sidewalk was totally finished. This was a more laborious job (with the added heat) than what RVICS likes for the men to do. But, a brand new sidewalk if now available for the children to use going to their buses. Another job was begun. They are now powering washing and scrubbing the outside of a house for painting this week. The ladies continued to sort in the donation center and pantry. This is work that is necessary every week of the year.
Ministry--Each of the team couples were invited into the residence home where the children live for supper. What a delight to see the interaction of the "parents" and children. Our hostess house had 4 girls and 4 boys from elementary school to high school. These parents are indeed given talents by God for the work they are doing. It is so good to do the work we do and see how it is used and benefiting their ministry.
Socializing--As every week, we did take time for just visiting. However, this week, we invited the director of maintenance and his wife to a cook out with the group. It was a great evening to be outside in January in Florida! They, also, spoke of their experiences as working as house parents and other ministries they have had here.
