60 TO PIERRE

Bob and Debbie with the Action Team at Mount Rushmore

2010-06-21T17:27:00.004-05:00

Bob sent me this today. Great Photo! Please pray for Capitol Heights. Having a mission team come in like we did is a great experience for us and Capitol Heights, but when its over can also leave a void. I know our team misses them as much as they miss us.

We should be at the church no later than 11:30. We had a great time but I'm looking forward to being home.

Recap and Headed Home

2010-06-19T05:13:00.001-05:00

As promised, I will do my best to recap the final day in Pierre, South Dakota. All light construction and repair projects we set out to do are complete. As for VBS, I won't be able to adequtely convey what the team experienced this week. On Thursday, the final night, 48 of the total 50 children that attended this week were present; most with members of their family. Some sacrificed other obligations to be there. As the night came to an end, a slideshow was put to the instrumental music we sang all week. As the children watched pictures of themselves to the "Paul and the Underground Church" music, they spontaneously sang along. Praises to Jesus rang up from some who didn't have much, if any, an idea who He is until this week. Leaving the children I spent all week with, Bob and Debbie, and the members of Capitol Heights Baptist Church was painful. I pray that we see them again next year. Seeing some of the smaller children clutched to some of our team members after VBS was over is an image we won't soon forget. If anyone from Belden Baptist has any doubt about what our staff has been emphasizing, any member of the team will be happy to discuss it with you. It's about a relationship; it's about relationships. We saw it with our own eyes this week.

I am thankful for the number of children who heard the most important message they will ever hear this week. Capitol Heights Baptist Church has a well-defined mission feild as a result of God's work this week. Our prayers should be with them.

Thank you for the prayers this week.

We will be headed home in a few minutes. See you tonight.

Day Summary - June 15, 16

2010-06-16T21:40:00.000-05:00

We've had a great two days of work and VBS. We have everything completed at Pastor Bob's home except for the construction of a storage building door. The insulation in the garage walls and above the garage has been completed and the garage walled up to help the Bogarts deal with the extremely low temperatures in the winter. The siding on the storage building has been removed and new siding put on.

The decking at Ms. Sharon's home has been removed and replaced and new steps installed. Ms. Sharon is a member of Capitol Heights Baptist Church and is a former missionary.

The team has also completed many other projects including some Yardwork and landscaping at both homes.

The team has gotten very attached to the people of Capitol Heights. We don't leave until tomorrow but are already thinking about how much we will miss them and all the children that attended VBS this week.

Day Summary

2010-06-14T23:18:00.003-05:00

Another great day in Pierre. A group of us went to the Pastor's house to work on the garage since the rain would not allow much outside work. We got a lot of work done in a short time and look forward to getting more done tomorrow. Another great night of VBS to cap it off.

Great Kids of Pierre!

First day of VBS

2010-06-13T21:33:00.000-05:00

Capitol Heights had a great first day of VBS. Bob Bogart told me that they had only 6 to pre-register and were only expecting 12 to 15 tops. We had 36 including 6 Beldon children. That's 30 from the church and community. We are all praising God for what only He can do! Please pray for more to be here tomorrow. It's not just about numbers. These children, like all, need to hear about Jesus!!
