Chilton Builders’ Trip

Last week, six men from our church went to Roscommon, Michigan, on a construction mission trip to help build a building for Roscommon Baptist Church.

We joined 90 people from Alabama, South Carolina, Kentucky, Texas, and Missouri.  What a team!

When we got there, we saw a concrete  slab with one or two walls built.

Each day, we began at 5:45 am for prayer.  We called on God’s strength and protection as well as sharing prayer requests each day.

It didn’t take long for a building to take shape.

There were men inside framing, pulling wire, and doing rough plumbing.

The group had a variety of skills.  LOL

Fred and Tim became expert shingle cutters.

At the end of the 5th day, the outside of the building looked like this:

The hardest workers, may have been the kitchen crew that fixed 3 hot meals a day!

The building was bathed in prayer with Scriptures written on trusses and studs.

This is what the finished product will look like in a few months:

We learned once again that that the Chilton motto is true…
