This week, we had the opportunity to work alongside a group from Dayton, OH from St. Albert the Great Catholic Church. The team was comprised of 28 members, ranging in age from 14-74. The members of this team aren’t at all what you think of when you think of a stereotypical “catholic.” This was a good lesson to learn. The fun thing about this team is that they bring many different areas of expertise. We had a Dental Hygienist, Hair Stylist, Air Force Officer, Professional Gardeners, Sewers, and an Art Teacher. We reaped the benefits of their expertise, as we both got our teeth cleaned and haircuts. It was neat to see them blossom in their fields of knowledge. The team also made many donations in direct answer to Evy’s prayers. They also brought money to pay for dental work, construction materials, a pizza party for the kids next week, and books for the school library. The team also went out of the ordinary and on Wednesday in Antigua, went to a coffee farm for a tour.
It’s funny how the Lord prepares us for things. We don’t think it was a coincidence that our last team was also the largest. We shudder to think about how we would have been unprepared if this was our first team!
