Our Little Bungalow

On July 2, 2013 Dennis Lucas, Pastor Jamie Sprayberry, Cody Sprayberry, Jake Warren, Dean Rice, and Daniel Priddy met at the church at 3:00am to head to the Nashville Airport. The guys went to Belize to build a home for Dennis and I.  It is amazing to see how this path is unfolding.  Three of these guys have never done any mission trips and here they were heading out to do their part in this great epic plan that God has started in our church. Listening and being obedient to what you hear is crucial.  We are becoming the hands and feet of Jesus.

This is not just a journey that God has given to Dennis and I to follow.  This is about an awesome group of people that God has brought together in Lexington, Tennessee.  Now we are a church body.  Now we are a family.  Now we are the Bride of Christ.  Now we are a reflection of Jesus on this earth.  I can just imagine God waving his arms like an maestro for an orchestra.  He waved his arms and he brought people from all over the United States to this one little church.  Greater Life Church has listened.  We have been down on our knees in prayer and waiting to be a part of this orchestra.  It is coming together.  We are just beginning to hear the music.  It has past the beginning stages of contemplation and inspiration and now the sounds are building.  Now God is fashioning his instruments and with great anticipation, we are just warming up. Soon there will be melodies and choruses. 

Thanks to John and Randy this was already there
when the guys arrived.

My first wood floor.  This would be considered exotic wood.

You can see our neighbors just down the hill.

Notice the green jungle and beautiful sky.

I'm sure that Daniel did more than this.

The team worked very hard in some pretty intense heat.

Lots of humor to get through the heat and sweat.

We have walls!

This is Randy, very smart and lots of fun to work with.

Ryan, a very good worker!

Gringo, Red Neck, Cowboy, take your pick.
This is Dean Rice and there are more people in Belize sporting
cowboys hats today because of him!


    

Really beginning to take shape.

This is the bathroom added on.  Aren't the jungle plants incredible.

It is still sinking in that this is where Dennis and I will be living.  We are so excited!  You know, we laugh and cut up a lot when we are together doing work like this.  I would just like to say how much all of you guys mean to Dennis and I.  You are truly men of integrity and honor.  We appreciate the time, money and sweat that you guys put into this effort.  May God bless your obedience.  Thank you!
