The paint’s drying, the concrete is settling and the final nails are going in the roof. Its Friday! Today is the last day of World Changers. The participants are out finishing up their projects and saying their goodbyes to the homeowners. This has been a great week and we have had a blast! Hopefully the participants have learned tons this week and met friends that they will keep up with for years to come! Last nights worship service was great, yet again! Please be sure to ask those that you know who participated in Tallahassee what they have learned and experienced!
“The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever” -1 Peter 1:24b
After having the afternoon off the participants are ready to finish off the week! Last night we had students go to Montreal, Ottawa and a camp ground where they grilled out and played games. It was a good chance for everyone to take a breath and break from the worksite.
Today there are a few crews that are moving to a new house to work on because they worked so hard they finished early. We started with 11 houses and will end on 16 houses. Thats great!
Pray for all the participants, students and adults as they finish out the week and attend worship. Tonight’s worship will challenge the participants to live out a life of missions, whether it be over seas or right back at home in their local communities.
“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” -Acts1:8
We’ve reached the half way point and not slowing down yet! Well kind of…today is a half day! All of our participants went out to work this morning like a regular day but after lunch they headed back to school and got ready for a night on the town! Some groups are driving up to Ottawa, the capitol city of Canada. This will be a great chance for the students to see a different side of the community that they have been working in and take the time to hang out and do some fun things in the area.
Last night our worship service was fantastic! It was the Concert of Prayer, a low key, non distracting, low lighted service to focus just on God. There is no one visually leading and speaking through out the night. The stage is left empty. Take the time to ask someone you know at this project about the night and if/what the learned and experienced from it.
Tomorrow schedule will be back to the norm. Continue praying for the participants, homeowners and community members as we finish off the week!
Here we go again on our own. Going down the only road we’ve ever known…
Day 2 of work has kicked off! Today all of the participants are going back to their worksites and continuing on the work they started yesterday.Some of the work that the participants are doing includes re-roofing, siding, building fences and wheelchair ramps. Everyone is doing a fantastic job! Yesterday the participants shared the Gospel 19 times, and 4 tracks were handed out.
Please take time to pray for the Students to have the courage and strength to share the Gospel of Jesus to this community!

Gloves, goggles and tightened nail aprons, its off to work we go! Today is the first day of work here in Cornwall! Our worksites consist of re-roofing, roof repair, painting, building fences and lots of other miscellaneous things that need to be done! We sent everyone off in true fashion this morning. First we all gathered outside by the river in a huge circle, held hands, and asked for God to go with us as we went out into the community! Then we lined the vans and cars up and sent them out!
All of the participants were stoked to finally get to work and get their hands dirty! This week is going to be a great experience for all here, staff, students, adults, and volunteers. There is so much to be learned from one another and from the Lord. Be sure to ask your son, daughter, friend, sibling, youth group what all they learned when they return home!
“He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” -Micah 6:8
It’s the first official full day at World Changers! Today everyone will be split up into his or her work crews for the week. Each crew will be attending a church service with a local church here in Cornwall. This will be a great chance for everyone to experience the different culture here in Canada!
This is going to be a great week! Everyone is excited and enthusiastic about it! We are praying God will move in the lives of all the participants as well as the homeowners and community members. Later this afternoon we will go over how to share your faith and the telling of the Gospel! Please be in prayer for the participants to have a chance to tell someone their story this week! Also pray that God has already prepared the hearts of the community to hear!

Today all of the participants will get an introduction into the week here at World Changers and experience their first WC Worship Service. Today will be full of anticipation and excitement! We are certain that God will use this week to further His Kingdom! It is great that He is allowing us to be apart of that!
Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.’
Matthew 28:18-20
