Today was our last work day of the trip! The day began with finishing the painting job we began on the front wall of the building. We also finished painting two different parking lots on the front side of the building. We were able to start power washing and painting the larger wall in the front of the church building. We were also able to finish several different side projects in the inside of the building, such as re-painting the floor of the sanctuary, replacing every single LED light that needed to be replaced, fixing a broken toilet, and installing two new toilet paper holders in the bathroom.
In addition to these renovations, we had the chance to celebrate Pastor Mike Robinson’s birthday! We celebrated his 67th year of life with a large birthday card and donuts, and we had the opportunity to pray over him as well. We also had many different interactions with Lake Charles community members who supported us during our service project, which was truly a blessing for our group to experience.
This group did a terrific job this week with their abundant acts of service! Everyone truly went above and beyond and we completed many more projects than anyone had previously anticipated. This trip has been such a blessing to everyone involved, and it is truly evident that God is actively working in us and through our work.

Thank you, Bethel, for your heart to serve especially during a time when you had the choice to do other things. You saw the need of others and touched people in ways you will never know. Special thanks to the Praying Pelican Team for coordinating the details so the work can be done. And a special shout out to Jon who is serving our King so faithfully! May you all be blessed.

Praying for you and your team Jon, that God shows up and demonstrates his grace and mercy throughout your week of serving. You are amidst a group of people that are changing life here on earth that will have impacts for eternity! The adversity of missed flights, van issues, etc., told me that Satan was fighting back hard before you even arrived... keeping pushing ahead like David did in Psalms 57... I couldn't be more proud of you than I am right now in this very moment... Love ya buddy...!
