Be Still and Know that I am God

Well it has been 2 full work days since the majority of the ITEC work team left and it has indeed changed the environment here at Monte Blanco. It is significantly quieter and calmer around the campus. I still haven't figured out if that is a good thing or not? j/k The crew from Steppin-Out Missions has worked very hard both yesterday and today and they have all but finished 2 more buildings completely with all new conduit and wiring, as well as devices and fixtures. The Boys Dorm which had been painted over the last 2 weeks by some of the gals from ITEC now has all new electrical and it looks and works great! The other building that was finished except for a few receptacles was the main office complex. This building houses 5 offices and 3 classrooms and we energized the breakers tonight and saw a look of joy and gratitude from Vico. ITEC still has a presence here with Don and Art, and they also had a terrific day in yet another attic as they traced and verified circuit after circuit making sure that everything was ok. Art made the comment last night that there are certain jobs that he would never do for any amount of money, and working in attics is one, however, he has continued to be filled with the joy and strength of the Lord and he is glad to work in those conditions here at Monte Blanco. One of the things that we all have been able to do with the departure of the ITEC group is now reflect on just what the Lord has done over these last couple weeks and at different times I think each person has rested in the Grace and Peace of Almighty God. We have wondered where materials were going to come from, how they were going to work, and if loved ones would be ok in our absence. And now in the stillness and quietness of the last 2 days I think we have all just been quieted to KNOW that He is God and that He is GOOD! We are looking forward to a great Sabbath rest tomorrow as well as the safe return of the group that went to Santa Cruz with ITEC. Thank you so much for your continued prayers, we cannot do this work without your support.

Joel and John and all from Steppin Out: It has been a pleasure to work together with you and only God could accomplish all that has happened at Monte Blanco in these short weeks we had together. We are looking forward to working together with you all again someday. Make sure Don and Art behave. We are all home safe and will keep looking into the blog as we are very happy with all that has been done for God's glory at this place. Say hello to all your team from us and assure them that we will always cherish the memories of the past few weeks!
ReplyDeleteHey Gary, Thanks for the update and the encouraging words. We sure miss having you guys here, it just doesn't seem the same without all of you. It was truly a blessing and a testimony to the Lord that all of us were able to work, fellowship, laugh, cry, and worship together. To God be the Glory!!! Looking forward to another opportunity as well. God Bless
