Prayer Request

Greetings everyone! A prayer request came in from Livermore Baptist Church in California that accompanied us on our trip to Lakeshore. One of the young men that served with us from Livermore, Patrick Schalin, was just diagnosed with liver cancer. Patrick was not feeling well for several days after returning home from Lakeshore, and eventually went to the doctor and received the diagnosis. After hearing the news, the first words out of Patrick’s mouth when speaking to his mother were, “I wonder how God is going to use this.” You can keep up with Patrick on his Caring Bridge website. Leave him a note and let him know you will be praying.

Lakeshore Needs

From the Rebuild Lakeshore website:

“We build most of the houses in Lakeshore on 8X8 piers. We have been renting a 24″ auger to dig the holes to set the pilings. Owning our own auger would make better use of our financial resources. We have a John Deer 250 Skid Steer that can accept an auger attachment. If anyone could locate and purchase an attachment to fit the Skid Steer for our rebuilding, we will put it to good use.

“We also could use a trailer, with ramps, to haul the Skid Steer and our Tractor from job site to job site. Right now we have been driving the tractor around town, which is slow going, or rigging precarious make shift ramps to load the equipment onto our trailers that are not designed for that sort of thing.”
