Ice Cream Sundae Party to Start It All

by Ben Rhodes | July 17, 2023 9:25 PM

The team made it! Welcome to Pikeville, Kentucky!  Once the team arrived they were welcomed into the lovely Grace Baptist Church who is our amazing host church for the week. Once everyone got everything inside the church what better way to get to know each other than while sharing an ice cream sundae. The team all got to know the leaders and the leaders got to know the team. Many laughs were shared and everyone got excited for the riveting weeks plans ahead.

Sunday Morning Service

It’s Sunday morning and with everyone dressed in their Sunday best we joined Grace Baptist for their morning service. What a blessing it was to be able to join in with this local church as part of the big Church to all worship the Lord together!

The Outlook!

by Ben Rhodes | July 17, 2023 9:29 PM

After a great morning at church the team then went to grab some delicious Slim Chickens for lunch. Yummy! After lunch we then made our way out to The Outlook to see the famous Pikeville cut-through project. Where there once used to be a mountain, a mountain no longer stands. The people who worked on this project must’ve sure had a lot of faith because God definitely helped them move that mountain.

Church Cookout!

After checking out the amazing Pikeville cut-through we then made our way to downtown to explore the beauty of this small Kentucky town. After we enjoyed the fun times there we made our way back to Grace Baptist where we joined the church members in having a cookout. What ana amazing opportunity it was to be able to meet so many amazing people and have some amazing conversations. Thank you Lord for making us all one happy family

Let the Work Begin

As our work week begins it’s time to get at it! This week the team has been asked to help with flood relief by helping three homeowners spruce up their houses by doing different projects around their houses. One of our teams has been tasked with the demolition of an old patio and rebuilding it to be able to tell the tale of time. Here’s the before photo of where they were starting from.

2 Teams, 1 Town

by Ben Rhodes | July 20, 2023 5:44 PM

After an amazing first day of work it was time to celebrate the work that we’ve done so far. Amazingly there was another PPM team here in town this week as well. We invited them over to join us at Grace Baptist for a barbecue and a time of worship together. How awesome is it that we have the opportunity to worship a good God with a bunch of random people from Pennsylvania that we’ve just met!
