Grand Goave Day 7: Dedication Day

Big Daddy and the last bucket

"Betty Rubble"

Hannibal Smith always said, "I love it when a plan comes together." That's the way we feel today. The mission is now complete: our portion of the Rubble House is done! Before we poured the last batch of rubble, we dedicated the house. We thanked God, asked for blessings upon the family that will be sheltered behind the rock walls, and left a special memento behind: a red bandana.

It has been somewhat of a symbol for our group. We tied red bandanas around all of our luggage before we left. Some of us wore them while we worked. We decided to sign our names to a red bandana and leave it within the wall of the house, to serve as a testament to God's love and the commitment of our church to missions at home and abroad. 

 I speak for the whole group when I say that we are so proud of the work we did this week. We built a house with our own hands to provide shelter to a family in need. We worked in His name.

A dedicated group dedicates rubble house

We established a life long bond that we will gladly take back with us to Dalton. God has truly blessed us this week. Our church has blessed us with prayers. Thank you for your faithfulness and we are all very excited to be back in Dalton tomorrow. See you on Sunday!

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” (Hebrews 12:1-3 NIV)
