2007

Day two of MOVE07 was even more packed than the first! After breakfast and quiet times, the high school team loaded up the bus and headed for Benton Harbor. Once there the team met up with Habitat for Humanity and went to work big time on a house that is being built. The team took the walls that had already been framed and they raised all the exterior walls. After they got that done, they went through and raised all the interior walls of the house! IN one day they raised ALL the walls!

The middle school team headed over to the Habitat Restore in Mishawaka, which is a new location and is still getting settled. We helped paint some of the exterior of the property to get it looking nice and the team sorted through a ton of things that had been donated to the Habitat Restore. After lunch the team then went to the State Theater in downtown South Bend. The team helped in the ongoing process to renovate the State and all the rundown, overused, undercleaned areas of the theater. We were able to get things ready for a program that was running that night.

After getting back to the hotel and getting all cleaned up, everybody loaded up in the bus for a surprise team activity! We all took in a Silverhawks game followed by a pretty cool firework display! Before we left to head back to the hotel, we stopped by MC3 to talk about what is going on there and to pray over the building and all the lives that will be touched by the ministry that will happen in there.

It was a great night and tomorrow will be a GREAT day as the middle school team and high school team join forces along with MERGE and the adult construction crew to continue the renovations at MC3.
