last month we gutted an elderly man's home in cooperation with the city of titusville, which is going to replace his roof. This past saturday, we came together again to paint the inside of his house. The roof was suppose to be done, but the city was delayed due to a paperwork problem.
One encouraging note, was that one of the local neighbors was encouraged by the students work a couple weeks ago, so they decided to paint the outside of Mr. Shank's home (pictured). We were planning to do that, but it is exciting to see our work stimulate others into action as well.
We had over 30 adults and students come out for this project, so it was standing room only inside of the house at times. Thank you to: IRC Methodist, Park Ave. Baptist, Crosswalk Community, Crossroads Community, Christ Community, and Redeemer Presbyterian for coming out to help. Special thanks to IRC for providing the paint from a local paint contractor who donated it. We were able to use our "project titusville" paint supplies that we have collected from our past projects, so that was a blessing. It looks as though we are ready to serve our local community. Jesus said, "Love your neighbor as yourself" and we are working on putting those words into action.
We hope to see the roof completed in the next week and continue our repairs of Mr. Shank's home. I am also still looking for a 3-wheeled bike for Mr. Shank to ride, though it will take a miracle for me to convince him that he needs such a thing.
