Phew! We did it! One of our biggest weeks of the summer - 11 houses built in one week! Over 170 people were welcomed into the camp on Sunday from Viginia, Florida, Chicago, and Washington! We geared up for this big week and God provided us with the energy and perseverance to finish another successful week.
When i think about what a 'successful week' means here at EOC, it obviously refers to houses getting built; the tools, trucks, and generators holding up (with some help from Mardy of course!); the camp life running smoothly... but a 'successful week' also means to us that we saw God at work... we were practicing being the hands and feet of Jesus to people in need... we survived living in community and with joy (most of the time!)...
One of my favorite moments of the week is Thursday night when leading worship, and watching people "get it". Watching people worship and hearing them share of the transformations that have happened. That's success. It's those moments when I know God is smiling down on us and saying "well done my good and faithful servants..."
Welcome!

Rhonda,
Thanks for a great week. this mission trip is an experience that my family and I wont ever forget. Thank you for allowing us to love the Martinez family with a new house. We had a great time being hooked up with the Williamsburg church. Together we started the week with two concrete slabs and by Thursday we handed keys to two houses to two families whose lives are forever changed by the love of Christ.
