It was a great night of team building and fun! Beautiful people reaching out to each other with lots of love! God is good!!

Church Ceiling Removal

This church ceiling needs to be replaced due to hurricane Ian. The team spent the afternoon covering all the pews so that we can start removing the tiles later this week! 

By days end we were all TIRED! They were amazing!

Clean up Day!

by Tim deForest | March 7, 2023 10:42 AM

This morning the team traveled 30 minutes south to join Miss Rhonda and a group of about 40 others who were doing a roadside cleanup. We were in charge of a half mile section of the road. It was absolutely amazing how much trash was along the side of the road. It made such a difference. Miss Rhonda , pictured in the green shirt is a behind the scenes hero, making the world a much better place. The girls did an amazing job.

The Gift of a Home Cooked Breakfast!

by Tim deForest | March 8, 2023 2:36 PM

This morning, the CFCA leaders wanted to make a special breakfast for the teams. They bought eggs, hashbrowns, sausage links, and bacon in preparation for their feast. They prepped all the food, only to find out that yesterday all power to the church kitchen was shut down due to the construction going on in the new sanctuary. Lots of problem-solving followed, but eventually they persevered, and provided us with an amazing breakfast. God is so good. A big thanks to the amazing CFCA teachers!

This Team is Crushing it!

by Tim deForest | March 8, 2023 2:41 PM

We spent the entire day at Bethel Church removing its drop ceiling and old insulation. Can you say hot, messy, itchy, and challenging? Yet, the girls never complained. They are serving the Lord with smiles on their faces. We have all been so proud of them!

Disposal of the ceiling was as hard as taking it down.  

What a crew!

A Perfect End to a Great Day!

  This team cleans up mighty fine after working hard all day. We had a pizza party celebration for dinner complete with Keylime pie! And then off to church they went. We all thanked God for a great day!

Feeding the Hungry

 Today we will end our week of serving by preparing and then distributing food for nearly 400 families in the area. What an honor it is to serve and help those that are in need.

Unloading so Much Food!

by Tim deForest | March 9, 2023 1:00 PM

These boxes were all full of mashed potatoes to give away.  

Unloading so Much Food!

Feeding the Hungry

by Tim deForest | March 9, 2023 1:05 PM

Car after car lined up all the way down the parking lot and into the street.  The stream of cars flowed for most of the day. It felt so good to share what we had with others that truly needed it.

From Strangers to Sisters!

by Tim deForest | March 10, 2023 6:57 AM

Today we all head back to our homes. What a week it has been. God has been so good. Two separate teams from two separate states joining together to serve the Lord. God is so good. We already miss them. 

From Strangers to Sisters!
