Bed #17

Ms. Vannessa and her son Mark. They both were very poor in spirit, yet very gracious to us.
Sleep well Vannesa knowing that God cares about you. Sleep well youth, knowing that you loved Jesus by bringing his justice and mercy to the poor.

The boughs of the mighty are broken
And the weak are clothed with strength
May the glory of Jah endure forever

You've built 17 beds in a year. Blessed so many people. Grown yourself and some youth along the way. Don't let "church" get in your way. Maybe this is your "call within a call"? Maybe it's more for you, MarkE.

Wayne: Thanks for the encouragement!

Aaron: Depends on whether you count them as bunks or separate beds. Either way, 17 people who did not have beds have and will be sleeping in a bed every night.
