Slow but Steady Progress

The monthly mission trips give everyone an opportunity to make a difference in Joplin. Every day spent working gets residents one day closer to finally moving back home.

The residents of this house have been out of their home for over five months. This weekend we finished taping and mudding all of the drywall of the entire house except the bathroom and laundry room.

We helped with siding on the outside of the house. We added an electrical box to the laundry room and finished the ceiling.

There is still so much to do but as the homeowner told me, in one weekend we achieved what it takes the two of them weeks to do.

Want to see a happy crew?

Do you see some faces that you don't recognize from COS? Well that is because on this team we had members from another church. They joined us from New Covenant UMC and The Connection. Serving together is a great way to meet new friends.

Here they are with the home owners on the front porch.
