McClain Family Blog: FEPC Day 2

1 Corinthians 3:4-9

"For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not mere men?

What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building."

1 Corinthians 3:4-9

FEPC Day 2

"This is the day...This is the day! That the Lord has made, that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. And be glad in it..."

As those of you know who read this blog regularly, it is our tradition to sing this on a member of our family's birthday. However, it will forever have new meaning for our family now as it has become something we sing with the team each day. Both yesterday and today we were able to sing this at the beginning of the day.

We are having a great time...loving every minute...and just enjoying Pastor Tom and the rest of the team and the fellowship together.

Here is Day 2's write up by Sandy:

Day 2:
This morning began with a very special devotional. We are molding as a group and know God is our everything. A mission trip certainly helps one get his priorities in order.

Today's tasks included painting the girl's room and one bathroom, shopping for groceries, preparing meals, and assisting Matt and Brooke as they ministered to and fed the Potter's Field Kids, an outreach Bible ministry to kids in the neighborhood.

We learned a surprising fact about the people in this little town of 3000: the inhabitants have moved here from the United States, Italy, France, Nicaragua, Columbia, and Peru- quite a cosmopolitan group!

Possibly the most exciting event of the day was Travis's seeing 7 howler monkey in a tree during his morning run.

P.S. Pastor tom's name was omitted from the walking group yesterday- he too walked 2-3 miles while enduring nearly 90 degree temperatures, but he did it with a smile and he even carried Audrey (6 years old) for awhile!
