What an awesome group. Their trip included a variety of activities which we hope to share with you in the next few posts.
Thursday and Friday morning were spent painting 5 houses in 2 communities. They included the homes of a widow, a pastor, an elderly couple, our neighbor, and a young mother of 2 whose husband is gone 9 months at a time for work. The Chi Alpha group provided all the paint and supplies for the work which was a huge blessing to each family. It didn't take long for the buzz to spread through the communities that some Texans were in town painting houses.
After painting, the group ate lunch with a couple of the families. It was a wonderful time to build friendships and experience some "new" food. (we won't mention the chicken feet to Kelly) The painted houses serve as a constant reminder of God's love and care to all who see them. A sort of daily testimony that God cares and works through His people.
