Today we accomplished a significant milestone for this project. The laying of the court floor is complete!! WE could not have accomplished this task if it not were for a dedicated team focused on Christ. From the time the team arrived at camp, we have been focused on allowing the Lord to best use our talents and abilities to build His basketball court to bring His children in the native Alaskan villages to Jesus.
Everyone contributed from demolition (Nate, Chuck, Lou, Paul - from Abundant Life, and Scott and Ray from The Crossings at Birchwood) to hauling away the old flooring(Marty, Bob, Joe, Lou, Nate, Dan, Paul, JR, Chaun, and yes yours truly), to leveling the floor subsystem (Daniel, David and Lou), to laying out the new floor (Daniel, Nate, Marty, Bob, Lou, Ray, and Carl from Massachusetts), attaching it (David, Marty, Nate, Mark, JR, Bob, Chaun, Jessica - from Abundant Life) and sweeping it for finishing (Marty, JR, Joe, and Mark). It has been a total team effort. Our foreman Chaun led us through every challenge and by God's grace we were able to pool our talents together to achieve this major milestone.
I sit here In awe of the amazing team of men Christ has assembled for this trip. I have just had the opportunity to catch up on the daily activitiesat KHBC. Praise God for all you men and the work you are accomplishing. As a good friend told me last year on this trip, " who you doing it for, Jesus!" I miss not being with you all but God needed me here at home with families.
