Joplin Mission March 16, 2012: Church of the Shepherd's team is spending their last work day in Joplin today. We pray for a safe trip home tomorrow. The photo at the right is what was left after the tornado hit the sanctuary of St. Paul's UMC. One of our previous teams help to build a stage for St. Paul's temporary sanctuary.

This week our current team has spent the majority of their time building frames of houses in a giant warehouse preparing for other teams to reconstruct these frames on individual building sites. So far, the team has finished framing at least 2 homes. They also did some trouble shooting of electrical needs for various homeowners. The building blitz as begun with the lovely weather God has been sending, so sign up for an extended weekend team or June's week long mission team to help offer hope to our brothers and sisters in Joplin! They are putting their trust in us!
