Back from Ireland...Welcoming Teams!

I had a wonderful vacation in Ireland and have been back for a while, but no time to blog! I'll post some photos later for you to enjoy.

I arrived back to welcome a
24-member work/ministry team from Evangel Temple (Springfield, Missouri). ET was my "home" church while I attended AGTS for my Master's. It was a joy to spend time with the wonderful people from ET, and Pastor Charlie Arsenault (that's him on the mower!). His family also joined in the mission trip and worked hard around our campus. It's great to have them partner with us at Continental Theological Seminary. They helped us do finish work on an on-campus house that we are turning into additional men's dorm space next year. They also painted the men's dorm, did lots of grounds work, and helped in many areas of the seminary. Thank God for teams that give up their vacation time, finances, and use their gifts to support us and assist in our endeavors to reach Europe with the Gospel.

It's a busy summer and ET was our first team. We currently have a group from Plainview, Texas, and later in the summer will welcome back a crew from Cathedral of Praise A/G in Memphis, Tennessee, and another from Norfolk Glad Tidings Church. These teams are helping us get ready for the new school year by using their time and gifts in refurbishing the school. We couldn't make it without them!
