God has onced again graced us with a beautiful day for travel. The men serving on our 2nd construction team to Swaziland left today, full of anticipation, excitement and energy! They are looking forward to getting to Swaziland and getting to work.
Team 2 will focus on rehabing the building that will be the home for Pastor Augustine, his wife and their children. The team will be framing in the interior walls, running electrical wiring, installing the plumbing and bathroom fixtures, and hanging cement board (our equivalent of drywall). Jeff Girard will use his skills as a general building contractor to lead the rennovation work on this project. Chris Harrison is a certified plumber. Alan Clark, Pat Haley and Kevin Rutledge all have educational backgrounds in electricl engineering/electrical systems. Ryan Hines will offer his general "handyman" skills wherever needed.
Paul Conover is also traveling to Swaziland with team 2, but will be extending his mission's experience until the first part of July. He will continue work at the job site once team 2 returns home and will work on other related projects at the request of Kevin Ward.
The members of team 2 will also have the opportunity to visit some local homesteads and provide general maintenance services as identified by Pastor Augustine.
If all goes as planned, team 2 will arrive in Swaziland at 7:20 p.m. on Thursday (1:20 p.m. in Dayton). We ask that you pray for traveling mercies for these men over the next 24 hours. Further, we ask that you keep them in your prayers over the next two weeks. May God use them to change hearts and lives in Swaziland and may He bless them for obeying His call to serve.

Thanks so much for being so willing to give of your time and talents to serve in Swaziland. It's been great to see the overwhelming response we've had from our church members in giving to this cause financially... and so I just want to thank all of you on behalf of everyone that has given any amount of money whatsoever to this mission. Thank you for doing the work that most of us would probably be unable to do. Thanks for helping us change lives and transform a nation!!
