Lakeshore Report from Pastor Mitch 1/10/2013

PRAYER ALERT:

[We are trying to get all 40 holes dug for the 12 x 12 supports. The ground is a
tough clay and the digging has been slow. They are actually finding parts of an old
house way down there which makes this kind of an archeological dig. Chris Lavigna
just told me that they found a wheelbarrow wheel, gas pipe, and other items which
makes the digging difficult and slow. We request prayer for patience and endurance
so that we may be able to get all the holes dug in hopes that that we can pour
concrete tomorrow. We also need good weather to complete these phases.]

The Pike Street workers have finished the insulation are now putting sheet rock
in the ceilings and walls. Our prayer is to have the whole house sheet rocked by
Friday.

Last night we recognized Debra McDearmon for her many years of service as the
kitchen manager for the Lakeshore Project. She has been responsible for feeding
three meals per day for the whole crew for a week. She has organized many
workers into an army of cooks serving up the best tasting, most filling meals one
could imagine. She has every kind of snack and drink available for the 110 workers
here this year. She will be turning over the reigns next year to Christine Smith who
has served as her administrative assistant for the last two years. We hope Debra
can come back next year to enjoy more of an emeritus role, but if not, we thank the
Lord for loaning His servant to us. We have been blessed.

We ask you to pray that we can be efficient the final two days and maximize our
time here while maintaining a safe environment.
