Praise Reports:
~ Praise God for the work crew from Bethel Baptist Church in Janesville that was here a couple of days this week to assist with a variety of tasks. There were about 15 young people, as well as Pastor Nathan, who gave of their time to help clean out the storage shed; clean the gym and gym bathrooms, upstairs office space, dorm area, and school area; wash windows; clean out the van; and assist with a small mailing. They were a pleasant group who seemed willing to do whatever task we had – what a huge blessing!
