Prayer of Dedication

 

Each and every home built through North Carolina Baptist Men there is a prayer over the first block.  It takes about an hour of diligent work to get to the first block.  Pastor Carlos gathered the family around the block and ask Edwin to place the block over the re bar ever so gently.  Rosabella, Jennifer, Kevin and Fanny joined their husband and father as they knelt down over the beginning of their new home.  Several years ago when we assessed this family they were living with another family in a sound dwelling.  In October of last year, I shared with Mike let's go back and check on this family.  We adventured out one morning with Pastor Carlos and Maida to arrive at their existing dwelling.  Pastor Carlos looked at me saying this family needs a home.  They were no longer staying with the other family.  We asked them for their papers for their property and Edwin brought them to us.  On this October morning this family was not expecting us and did not know their dream was coming true.  Their prayers were being answered.  God knew when this family was to get their home and who was to build it.  Thank you God for your discernment in leading us daily on where you would have us to go and serve YOU.  Team leader Jimmy prayed over the first block as each person laid hands on one another.  Maida translated each precious word which parted Jimmy's lips.  Another God felt moment in the life of this ministry.  All God's children shouted AMEN.

 

For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
