Circleville First Church

We arrived in Dawson Springs, Kentucky after traveling most of the day. Upon arrival we were shown our rooms, unpacked and participated in an orientation meeting. The First Baptist Church of Dawson Springs is our host and their facilities are very nice. We are blessed to be here and look forward to what God will do.

This morning we had a great time of fellowship and worship with FBC Dawson Springs, our host church. They treated us to breakfast and afterwards we were part of a Bible study. Following this we attended the worship service where we were warmly received.

Later in the afternoon we visited one of our worksites for the week. We will build front and back decks for a family whose home was destroyed during the December 2021 tornado. The front steps were all that remains from the original home. It will be an honor to serve God as we minister to this family. 

Today we began ministering to the family for whom we are building the decks. While one part of the team began the actual construction part of the project, another part bought groceries and prepared meals for the family. They also bought plants that will be placed in a flower garden for the family. We are working alongside a team of 12 from the Lighthouse Baptist Church, Stroutland, MO.

Today we completed work on the front deck and began constructing the back deck. Part of our team cut down a damaged tree in the yard of senior adult members of our host church.

Today we completed the back deck for the homeowners. Everyone who saw the work was highly pleased. Most importantly, we were able to glorify God through our labor of love.

Larry was part of the crew that started work on the 3rd deck this week. The deck was for an elderly deaf gentleman whose home was destroyed by the December 2021 tornado. Our crew was able to get the form, steps, and floor decking all completed today.

Sam was part of the crew that continued work on the Baird house. We finished painting and were also able to install kitchen cabinets and the kitchen sink. Several members of another church with whom we worked gave money to be used during our trip. Because of their generosity, we were able to bless this family by purchasing new kitchen appliances. The family was so appreciative and praised God for this unexpected blessing.
