WORKING FOR THE LORD

A group of ten members from Christ Presbyterian Church, Tennessee, along with a church member from Lafayette, Louisiana, helped restore the Friendship Tabernacle Mission House, Dundas Town, in the middle of July.

Christ Presbyterian Church has been partnered with Friendship Tabernacle for ten years, during which time Vacation Bible School sessions have been held during the summer months. Spokesman for the four woman, seven men group, Jim Beuerlein, said it was the third trip the group had made to Abaco since Hurricane Floyd. "During our first trip we assisted with clean up. On our second trip we did roofing in the community. Now we are restoring the Mission House."

The Mission House stands overlooking the sea between Friendship Tabernacle and the church's Day Care Centre. It has nine bedrooms and five bathrooms. In addition to being used by Vacation Bible School in the summer months, it helps house visiting ministers and church members.

"We expect to have the roof on before we leave," said Jim Beuerlein. "The finishing work will be done by local people after our week here. Please mention that we are doing this for the Lord."

The members of the construction group were Jim Beuerlein, son Tony and daughter Terri; Mark Neeley, wife Cassie and daughter Amy; Jim Hannaford; Don Drummond; Bob Heeth; Cherie Frederick; and Tim Zaunbrecher (from Lafayette, Louisiana).
