Monday's Work

We ate lunch with another youth group who was working at the warehouse. Last week, TEAMeffort sorted hundreds of pounds of clothes to send to Ghana.

After lunch we set out on our next mission...

Today we had the privilege of stepping foot in the tomb where Jesus was buried. Well not the exact same, but an exact replica of the tomb in Jerusalem. The tomb stands in Covington, Kentucky at a wonderful place called Garden of Hope.

The owner of G of H gave us an amazing tour of his wonderful property. There is a statue of Jesus weeping, a chapel, lots of artifacts including a 500 lb rock from Solomon's wall!

After learning so much, they put us to work! The kids worked for hours in the hot sun weeding and helping to make the tomb and the G of H look fabulous! Even through the miserable heat, the kids did a great job! The tomb looks so much better!!

Just in one day, the kids have overcome some whining and discomfort to begin to understand that they are here for God and to do God's work! I'm so proud of them!

After an amazing shower, we had pizza and some free time! Worship is at 8 ! Pray for God's continued presence!

Peace to you this evening,

Steph
