What's it like working with Laborers for Chirst?

If you have been out to the building and helped out you know what it's like working alongside the laborers. For me it's like working alongside your best friends. I'm getting ready to go on a camping trip in July with two of my best friends. Whenever we get together, no matter how long we have been apart, we begin clicking, laughing like we have never been apart. Have you ever experienced that?

Paul, a writer in the New Testament says that , "as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another." When we are in the building we might look different or act different but we are one in Christ. There is something about being one in Christ. As soon as the laborers arrived they felt like they have been with us forever. It feels like being around your best friends. One of the LakePointe guys who have been coming out to the building noticed it right away. At men’s fight club he said, "You know, working with those guys I immediately felt a unity like I do with you here. It's the first time I've experienced that." That's cool! We are one in Christ and that's how it should be when we are around other Christ followers.

That's a little of what it's like working with Laborers for Christ. Come out and experience it for yourself! This week we will put up more metal studs, sweep, put in blocks for support in the walls. There's something for everyone.
