Edinbrook Church

After two days of traveling, we finally made it to Memphis, last night!  We are excited about ministry, today!!!

This morning we attended an amazing Sunday Service with our partner church, Monument of Love Baptist Church!  The staff and congregation were very welcoming....as always!!!

.    

Monday morning we went to Treadwell Middle School, and helped them prepare for the upcoming season.  We moved furniture in classrooms, picked up debris from the grounds, and helped to landscape the courtyard!

We spent all day, Tuesday, at Calvary Rescue Mission.  We spent the morning helping them send out their fundraising letters! CRM told us that what, normally, takes two days, we knocked out in two and half hours!!!

After lunch, we went back to CRM and prepared a warm, home cooked, meal (Tater Tot Hotdish), for the CRM residents.  Than we attended Chapel, where our team provided the worship music, and an amazing testimony, before heading back to the dining hall to serve up dessert( Strawberry Shortcake)!!!

Wednesday afternoon the heat index reached 105°!!! We took this opportunity to go to a couple of parks and hand out ice cold water bottles! We met up with another team that was building a playground and painting a home for a family. We were able to give them some refreshing water and got to pray with them and the family they were helping!

Thursday morning we went to visit Miss Sandra, at the Lisieux home.  The Lisieux home takes in women that have been victims of sexual abuse and addiction.  We were able to do a bunch of small jobs around the house. 

We finished off our week with a trip to the Memphis Zoo!!!  What an amazing experience to cap off an amazing week!!!!  We were able build on many of the relationships we have built over the last three years. And we were able to create many more!  What a week!  God is good!
