Atascadero Update

The Atascadero GO! Team is hard at work there on the the California central coast, blessing the lives of the residents of the Christian Home there. Scott Graham, one of the team, sent the following update and pictures (click on photos to enlarge):

The Atascadero mission team dove into assignments Thursday afternoon upon our safe arrival. Members are working on projects at the Home and also at Country Care hospital. Some are on the roof painting fascia, others are digging areas for four (4) cement pads to be poured soon. We have women on the team who have trimmed "thousands" of rose stems. Others have planted flowers to beautify the entrance. More importantly, the team has met, talked, and prayed with residents and staff at both locations. They have shared in devotions, visited with residents at each meal, and joined in singing at a Hymn sing-along. We have dealt with sore backs and muscles (especially the cement preparers!). Some have sacrificed by sleeping on a mattress on the floor - more stars in their crowns. We all praise God for His love and care.

Please continue to pray for this great team as they work, share and travel home Sunday afternoon. Ask the Lord to not only keep them healthy and safe, but to provide those kinds of "God-moments" with others who might need to know more about what it means to have a growing relationship with Him.
