2006-01-15: Answered prayer!

Please go back and read the prayer request for January 12th at:

and see the updated "answer" that’s been added there … that an anonymous donor gave $1000 to defray expenses for the lunch, the project materials, and help us launch forward into other work at Emerald Hills in the future. Thank you Lord!

Jerry (right) with his son, J., starting the staircase in the Freedom BarnAlso, please give special thanks for Jerry E., who headed back to the Freedom Barn this afternoon to continue work on the unfinished staircase that will eventually lead up to the loft. When it’s complete, we’ll show pictures in the Picture Gallery. "Thank you Lord for men like Jerry who, in spite of all that fills his day, determine to give sacrificially of their time and talents. Thanks for the 2000 homes that Jerry has built — which prepare him amazingly for the work he’s doing at the Freedom Barn. Today we pray especially for his mother in Florida, Lord, with a condition similar to Pneumonia. Please assist her breathing, clear her infection and congestion, and bring her to complete health. If Jerry has to travel down there this weekend, please allow him to travel safely there and back to encourage her. In Jesus’ Name, Amen."
