For the People Had a Mind to Work: It is hot here!

It is hot here!

The heat is starting to kick in, here in Southern Kansas! Yesterday it got up to 92degrees and with the humidity, it feels a lot hotter! I'm having a hard time convincing the kids to play outside when I don't even want to go outside. The men seem to be taking the heat well, they all have their big straw hats and plenty of water to drink.
This is our last week of school, and then we will go to part-time school. I'm excited about doing science projects with the kids and learning about different history topics! I have also had my eye on a math program called Math U See. It is a little pricey new so I've been scouting it out on Ebay to see if I can get it cheaper. Unfortunately it's a popular program and everyone wants it cheap, so the bids really add up, especially when you include the shipping! My dad has the manipulatives that he's willing to send me ($30 value) but I still need the Teacher's Manual, Student Manual, Test booklet, and DVD. After I had looked on Ebay and saw that those were going for no less than $50 plus shipping, I decided to try Craigslist, just in case. It just so happens that a man in a town not too far from here is selling all of that except the DVD for $20 and is willing to meet us halfway! Praise the Lord! So I'm waiting to hear from him, when we can meet. God is so good to provide!
It seems our laundry situation is working out for now. The Pastor's inlaws (Titus and Cynthia Mohler) have graciously allowed us NTCP members to use their washer and dryer while they are gone on deputation bouts, so I am able to spend a few hours there washing the clothes, and then I can hang them outside to dry in the natural Kansas wind! Thank you Lord for providing a dryer! I just make sure that I wash the undergarments and towels first so those can dry in the dryer while the others wash!
The building is going well, as usual. They are putting up the corner things, not sure what they're called, and this weekend the trusses will go up for the roof.
Thank you for the prayers and the support! And for reading my lowly thoughts. :)

Some Building Facts!

1. When a church goes from renting a facility/meeting in a home to owning their own building, it will grow by an average of 50% in the first year!
2. Having NTCP, USA come and help you build will give you a savings of 30-70%
3. NTCP, USA does not require anything from a church when it goes to work. We have some requests, but if we required something we would be no better than contractors.
4. An average of 800 Baptist churches close per year.
5. Foreign Missions cannot be supported, unless new churches are built!
6. If a church has a 50% increase in people after getting a new building, their Missions fund can grow as well.
7. Supporting NTCP, USA will ensure you a part in the reaping of all of the souls that are won because of the growth of the church that was built!
8. When we go to a church to build, we strive to be the best church members that Pastor has. That means we go on visitation, volunteer to sing specials, teach a class, and help in any area we can. We are there to be a blessing, not a burden.
