Beginning June 16, 2012 a team of 6 from Elevate Church in Monroe Michigan will depart for Choluteca Honduras on a 1 week mission to build and distribute beds to the needy and share the Gospel.

Today was a work day from Sunrise to Sunset (well not quite sunrise). I told our team before breakfast that today would be all about team work. A long day in hot and humid conditions working together to accomplish a goal. They did not let me down. Everyong worked hard all day and regardless of the task they jumped in an delivered. It was an awesome day of work. We completed cutting all of the boards to size and have 80% of the sanding complete. We have also started staining and sealing some of the boards, but tomorrow we will need to get most of the painting complete, so on Thursday we can start assembly. As Nick mentioned in his blog, Levi took a small group from Elevate and Cedar Creek teams out into some of the poorest of the poor in Honduras. These are the people we are trying to reach with our bed project. The homes they live in are without electricity and are basically built out of sticks, plastic tarps, and other items that as Americans we would throw in the garbage. This family of 5 had come to the attention of GCLA when their youngest was hospitalized for 30 days with Malnutrition. The child is now slowly recovering and the church is helping where they can. The family received a bed from one of the prior teams this year.
