Haven CRC, Zeeland




Friday morning a work team from Haven CRC arrived at the San Diego airport. We were excited to meet them, knowing that Scott's sister, Deb, her husband and son would be among the 42 people on the team. What we didn't know was that our son Daniel was also part of the group. What a surprise to see him jump out at us from the crowd! Thanks to all who made it possible for him to come and visit for a week.

We did some grocery shopping in San Diego and tourist shopping in downtown Tijuana before arriving at the Arca church to set up camp.



Saturday was a work day, half of the team went with Marcia to Terrazas to get ready for the VBS. They organized the crafts and games, and passed out fliers dressed as clowns. They got lots of attention from the kids and adults on the street. In the afternoon they began painting the church building and the classroom/parsonage.


The other half of the team went to Agua Viva where they built a stage in the sanctuary, poured a cement slab, and worked on drywall.


Sunday we worshipped at Agua Viva, and stayed afterwards for their monthly pot luck dinner and fellowship. Then we went to the beach where we enjoyed a fun afternoon of body surfing and games, a hot dog roast, and a worship service.
