bahamas methodist habitat

During July 4-10, 2010 our youth and some adult workers went to Nassau Island to work with the Bahamas Methodist Habitat.  They assisted at three different sites.  The first site was All Saints Camp, which used to be a leper colony at one time, but now it houses those with very difficult terminal illnesses.  The team worked on bathrooms, rebuilding toilets, installing lights, new hardware for doors, cleaning extensively, and clearing a bunch of brush.  The students also ministered to the sick by listening to them and loving on them.  The second location was Mr. Kelly's house.  Mr. Kelly is an 83-year-old man who has lived in his home since 1948.  He just received running water for the first time last week.  The team worked on tiling projects in his kitchen and bathroom, installing a solar water heater, and cleaning up in his yard.  Lastly, the team worked on an addition to St. Michaels UMC (where they stayed).  They helped build an addition for an expanded kitchen and storage.

Keep watching for upcoming Mission trips!
