Not exactly a woodworking project. I spent a week of my vacation time on a mission trip helping with construction of a new church building in the small town of Akron, AL. I did everything from rough framing to electrical rough in. I even learned how to bend and fit electrical conduit. This is the third year that I have participated in a trip like this. As you can see, we did not complete the entire building in just one week, but we were able to get a lot of work done. When we started monday morning, there was nothing but a concrete slab. The first picture is end of day one, second is end of day two and third is end of day 3 and finally, forth is end of day four. Unfortunately, I did not take any pics at the end of day five.

Those are the trips that I look back on with great joy, and pride in what a handfull of like minded people can accomplish with their combined God given talents.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

The church I belong to was built by a similar organization about 10 years ago. Your efforts will touch untold numbers of people.
