A few random moments from our work over the past several days. Don’t forget that you can see these things as they happen by following us on Instagram. I love doing this for two reasons: 1) I get to see the progress of the construction firsthand, and 2) I get some good downtime with our…
There are some exciting things going on at Ebenezer Baptist Church, the congregation we had the privilege to plant beginning in 2012.
