Grace Missionary Church hosted our 3rd week of the summer from July 10-16th.

A group from Blackhawk Baptist Church out of Ft. Wayne joined us as first-time participants.

The group scraped and painted dugouts and a concession stand for the Grace Church Upward Baseball program.

Inside the concession stand

A total of about 40 kids attended over the four days, which was a huge increase from previous years! Praise God!

The third group serving during Week # 3 was Cumberland CC.

Englewood CC hosted the final week of the summer as they have for several years now.

On Monday mornings, some friends, like Jim Aldrich here, put the participants through some practical training before they went out to work sites.

This week in particular involved some interior demolition, so folks had to get geared up. This was part of a group from Gateway CC in West Virginia.

The other half of their group was nearby, some doing demolition and some painting the exterior of a building recently acquired by Englewood Community Development Corporation.

For the first time ever, there were two Vacation Bible Schools, led by two different groups at different locations.

We may never know how God will grow the seeds of truth planted by groups from Scott Avenue CC and Heartland CC.

One of the morning jobs for part of the Scott Avenue VBS crew was painting the porch at Outreach Inc.

The previous picture & the one below show members of the 1st C of C from Grayson, KY who painted a house at 218 N. Oxford.

Thanks to all for your faithful support that makes all of this "equipping" — training, challenging, motivating and encouraging of teens and adults possible!
