Youth from Church of Battlecreek came from Oklahoma to love on our kids at GCH and work on the Baby Home for a week. In their youth directors own words they came to do “grubby, sweaty, grunt work that no one else wants to do”. True to their intentions they spent their mornings digging ditches. They worked on a ditch for our septic system and one along our neighbor’s wall that needs to be sealed. They also finished priming the walkway. After lunch everyday, the team organized activities with our children including a three-day soccer tournament.
Saturday a group of personal, faithful friends, came from San Diego to help complete some of the structural connections from the roof to the building which meant crawling into tight spaces and driving nails with a hand held nail gun. Hot and sweaty, they proved once again how good of friends they really are.
