Generous. Big hearted. That is one of the great characteristics of the people of Woods Chapel. I continue to be amazed at the way that you all so willingly give of yourselves to help others.
Yesterday during services, we asked for help to build a village of concrete homes for our friends in Los Pinos, Nicaragua. The homes cost $4,500 each and there are 25 of them in the village. That is a lot of money, but it makes a tremendous difference in the lives of the Nicaraguan families that currently live in mud huts.
I have not heard the final numbers, but I am expecting that we received checks or commitments for 20 of the 25 homes yesterday. I have faith that the rest will come in short order.
You are a great people with a great heart and it is my pleasure to be your pastor and to be on this journey with you in life. There is a joy that comes from generous living. Thank you and God bless you!
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

I was not surprised at the line at the Missions table after the 10:10 service. I was happy to wait and felt very blessed to be part of such a generous church family. I love you all!
