Day 2 - Break out your working boots




Pic one Our Transporation, Pic 2 Morning Meeting and worship Pic 3 work on the classroom
Today we headed out to Collage Daniel to begin our work there. Collage Daniel is located in Guibweller, France and is the ONLY Christian school in France. So we are among an elite group of Christians in France. Now why go were the Christians are? Well our French is shaky at best, but we have manual labour to help those that can speak and minister to Christians. With only about 1% of France's population being Christians this is vitally important.
Our days begin with a short devotional and worship time together. Afterwhich we get straight to work. We have begun by sanding and prepping a room for its transformation into a classroom. So far drywall is up and the rest is up to us (Should be fun). We also did some work on the exterior of the buildings and Doug and David began a bathroom renovation.
We were also fortunate to have a tour today and the main building or "Chateau" is a beautiful old castle of sorts converted into classrooms, offices, and everything else they need (though finances have prevented them from completely renovating even after 25 years of owning the place).
Lunch included us meeting some teaching staff at the Collage as can be seen in the previous picture.
We miss you all and appreciate your continued thoughts and prayers.
