Building the Church at Marksville proved to be more difficult than any of the volunteers could have imagined.  About forty volunteers drove from Virginia to Louisiana to do the initial framing of the new church.  Local church members and members from the Hessmer Baptist church welcomed the team with great excitement in spite of departure snow, local rain, mud, and more mud.  The construction team slid out of Virginia and drove into Louisiana believing that they had dealt with the greatest obstacles.  However, the rain on Monday proved them wrong. 

After a day of working under the tent and building walls, the rains subsided and by the end of the second day the walls were going up, but the mud made work very difficult.

Team members slipped and slid through the Louisana mud and erected most of the exterior walls by the end of Tuesday.

 

Wednesday proved to be another welcomed day of sunshine and some of the mud dried up as the day went on.  All of the interior walls were completed and hauled to the building from the tent where they had been made.

Mission Team Is Safely Home

The West End Baptist Church bus arrived back at the church about 8:30 PM on Friday night.  After two days of moving along with the huge storm that brought rain and snow to much of the eastern half of the country, the team was weary and glad to be home.  Team members report having had a wonderful experience in spite of the bad weather that cut the mission short.

The team wants to express a tremendous 'thank-you' to the church for the support that made the mission possible.  Team members will find a time in the near future to share a report with the church.  We are extremely grateful to those members who faithfully prayed for the church throughout the mission.
