Wednesday 10 Jan
Working, learning and talking together.
Scott writes, "I always love putting my hand to something practical, and at the moment it's working alongside a team of guys to replace the dangerous and leaky roofs on two schools. The schools are a fair way out on bad roads, so given the difficulty accessing the schools, we have set up a workshop at our place. This means the local guys and I can cut, plane, bend and weld all the wood and steel needed for the buildings here.
It’s been a hive of activity the past few months as different men have brought skills and learned skills. As we have worked, we have also spent time talking about the joys and struggles of life, as well as exploring stories from God’s Word.
Many people are seeking employment and support at the moment, and I have often been able to offer some people casual work, which helps both them and the project.
Doing practical things with people, creating space for their gifts and teaching new skills, listening to other’s stories and telling a few of my own, opening the Word of God and applying it to life’s different moments - this is a privilege! Practical discipleship as we meet practical needs... Thank you for your partnership in this ministry."
