Dear Faith
Partners,
This week so far has been a wonderful
week already. Just today, My YRG group was scheduled a two day
project to build on a shed that another YRG group worked on last week
for this sweet old lady and her husband that had a stroke, this led
to a great part of Moutian TOP. We did this for them and doing this
to help others in our community.
Thank you for the ability to have this
experience. It really means a lot to me and all of the missioners
that we could be here this year.

Dear Faith Partners,
This week has been an amazing week for
me so far. Just today, My YRG was able to not only build a roof for a
porch, but we were also treated to a great lunch of homemade fried
chicken with all the fixins. This leads me to my favorite part about
Mountain TOP. We get to work for these amazing families, but we are
always being reminded that we aren't doing this for us, we're doing
it for these families. Sometimes I think it can be easy to get caught
up in doing this work because it brings us closer to the Holy Spirit,
but really we are doing this work to help people, and being
constantly reminded of this really helps me to focus on what really
matters.
Thank you for giving us the ability to
have this experience. It really means a lot to me and all of the
mission team that we could be here this year.

For
Thursday June 19th: Lord
Christ, when you came among us, you proclaimed the kingdom of God in
villages, towns, and lonely places: Grant that your presence
and power may be known throughout this land. Have mercy upon
all of us who live and work in rural areas; and grant that all the
people of our nation may give thanks to you for food and drink and
all other bodily necessities of life, respect those who labor to
produce them, and honor the land and the water from which these good
things come. All this we ask in your holy Name. Amen.
