Maurice is our gentle giant who serves and cares for everyone who works on the property. Each day he set his alarm on his phone for every twenty five minutes and delivered either water or Gatorade to all the men working on the property. Even the men who were working on the multi purpose building received the physical water of life. They were blessed with a couple of cool days but there was some days Maurice up his rotation to sooner than 25 minutes. This is a job we should appreciate on a team. The guys never had to worry about getting thirsty because Maurice took his responsibility seriously and we are grateful for a job well done.
His lovely wife Penny brought the spiritual water to the people on the property in two different ways. The project she brought was making the little pockets out of canvas and placing a cross inside the pocket with the plan of salvation. Penny needed help a couple of evenings putting the blue yarn on the border of the canvas material. Ron, Joel and Mike were willing to assist Penny in her project. They were able to get about 25 to 30 of these completed. Penny gave them out at the dedication to each guy on the property. Hopefully our friends who don't know Christ will keep this little cross close by their side as a reminder of who their true living water is: Jesus Christ.
Also Penny brought 12 bible studies on the book of John. God placed on her heart she needed to bring 12. I told her in the beginning she needed to bring about 6 for the guys staying on the property. But since we had done the devotional daily this week, Pastor Carlos decided to continue the time after lunch to be in God's word. So he gave each man and the one lady a bible study of John and after lunch each day they share the book of John and the questions to their study. There is 12 studies and there is exactly 12 folks who work there on a daily basis. God is good all the time and all the time God is good. God wanted all the people on the property working to have a study and Penny listened to what God called her to do, bring 12 studies. Thank you God for leading Penny in the direction you would have her go and thank you Penny for listening to God's detailed directions.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believe in Him will not perish but have everlasting life."
