WOW WHAT A FIRST WEEK

On Sunday afternoon we recieved keys to the parsonage, the house is larger than we thought. There are four bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a very large living room, dining room, a good size kitchen and a laundry area. The previous renters(for 13 years) had pets and the pets ruined all of the carpets. It was a mess. We have spent the past week ripping up carpets, cleaning floors, washing walls, patching holes, painting killz on subfloors, pulling up staples and staples and staples. The house is about ready to paint. We have had some great friends helping us as the church is not in a position to help much. At the same time I met with one church's mission team to present the urban outreach plan and it was well recieved and a second church called and has made me their missionary for Kokomo and will be supporting us with a very substancial amount of support. It was unbelievible. There was also an event at a community center this week in which a group networking with us provided a three day Vacation Bible School in the inner city. For the first week we are staying very busy and seeing God's hand. By the way I almost forgot under most of the carpet was beautiful hardwood floors, which is perfect for us with Chris' allergies. God has blessed us this week. Jeff
