Today was day #3 here at the Bed Barn. There was plenty of work, food, and also a lot of fun.
In the evening 3 people from our team joined some of the church members in delivering meals to some shut-ins. They were able to spend time visiting with each person while we delivered the food.
After wrapping up for the work day we joined Mt Olive Baptist church for their Wednesday fellowship meal and service. It’s been great getting to know the people here and serving God with them.
We started our Tuesday off with a hearty breakfast at 7. Work started shortly after and we all quickly fell into place. Most of the retired gentlemen from yesterday didn’t make it back today, but a few brave souls decided to stick with us for a second day.
A few of us were blessed to ride along on bed deliveries with the ministry- we set up 3 beds across two households and shared the gospel with them. It was an amazing and uplifting experience for all involved.
Later in the evening, our group took a trip over to Ole Miss. We got to visit a fellow campus ministry, Rebels for Christ. It was so nice for us to see another fellow group following Christ, as well as being welcomed by their southern hospitality.
Start of the work week! Today we started working in the Bed Barn building beds for kids. We learned a lot moving to different machines throughout the day.
After work we split up into groups to do some fellowship, including one group exploring Tupelo, MS. The college students attended a local college bible study while the leaders had dinner with their new directors.
Sunday, the best day of the week.
Started off with a hearty southern breakfast, chocolate gravy included.
Baptisms led the way for church service, along with worship, fellowship, and a great message.
The team went out to adventure around Corinth, stopping at Topps BBQ for lunch and the Civil War Memorial/museum, and later walked around the site of a battlefield.
We ended the day with a tour of the barn by Billy in prep for the work week. Please pray for us as we start our work in the bed barn tomorrow!
Greetings,
We have arrived safely, thanks be to God! We were greeted with big smiles and open arms by our friends here at Mt. Olive Baptist church. We are all in good spirits, a bit tired, and excited for the work that God has prepared for us. Thank you for your prayers for safe travels.
