Settling In & 1st Day of Service

The “wake-up harmonica” was heard at 6:45. Continental breakfast at 7:30 in the Depot (the community gathering spot on the base). We had personal devotions next. At 9:00 there was base-wide worship.

Gabe and Bailey gave us YWAM & service project orientation, and Jarnae lead a base tour at 10:00. Gabe is the person who prepared for our group coming and is our group host while we are here. Gabe is very personable and shows care for our group. When we arrived yesterday, our beds were made, and there was a little welcome package on each of our beds.

After lunch we served for the afternoon for a ministry called Sleep in Heavenly Peace. The ministry provides free bunk beds to struggling families that cannot afford beds for their children. We measured the lumber, cut the wood and then the major project: sanding. It sounded like bumble bees. Turn the volume up on the video! Our students worked so hard for hours with a great attitude!

After dinner we had free time. Our meeting involved group sharing in small groups and the large group. We are having a great time together.
