A HUGE thanks in praise to our NOMADS team, who just finished three weeks of mission work at Lakeside. Dave & Sally Dyke, Sherry DeHaan, Jeff & Teresa Fulton, and Dave & Carol Hill were incredible volunteers and we are blessed by the work they did.
Between Sept. 28 and Oct. 15, they finished more than twenty projects of varying sizes (many with sub-projects, too). It's very true that many hands working together are better than one!
Thank you again for spending three weeks with us, NOMADS! It was a blessing to have you all on site with us, and to observe the care you put into your work.
Here's a list of projects/sub-projects that were completed:
Six shoe cabinets built and painted for the cabins, so that campers have a place to put muddy shoes in.
