We have completed our week in Wasilla and are on our way home. The men did an impressive job bringing the building from a bare slab to almost completely framed in five days. No accidents or injuries!
Even more impressive is the vision Fairview Loop Baptist Church has for Wasilla. They are hard-working believers who want to reach their community for Christ. If the commitment they have made to host the volunteers this summer is indicative of their commitment to loving people and sharing Christ's love, they will point many people toward faith in Christ.
The pastor and leadership of the church is to be commended. Cross Road will pray for these partners in ministry. I prefer to look at this trip as a partnership. We have shared our resources and abilities with them so that they can share theirs with others.
Through partnerships, Cross Road's ministry extends beyond Fairview Loop and beyond this week. We do the same with the Church at Argenta and in Talitsa, Russia.
Partnerships allow our church to help another that will help another and so on. We aren't the origin of the help but are in the middle of a chain. Believers help us at our point of need so we can extend help to others.
I will be happy to be home in a few hours but I'm glad to have spent the last ten days sharing in this task.
