We have been continuing to do more outreaches and service projects this week. Progress on the sanctuary here at the Oasis Center is continuing well--we are almost ready to paint the entrance-way to the santuary and have been blessed to be able to paint the downstairs hallways and childrens ministry rooms and are starting to build a wall in the coal room to prevent water from seeping into the children's ministry room through the walls.

Another of the service projects we did this week was to remove vinyl lettering from this bus and its accompanying trailer.

The bus will be used to tour to schools to share about why the bible is important and share Jesus with kids. The hard part though wasn't actually removing the letters though, but removing the residue from the where the stickers had been. Afterwards we washed the bus to make it all pretty before its premier departure on the bible tour next week.

An outreach we did today was to go to a halfway house in Bielsko-Bilao (check spelling?) the "big city" an hour away. There we helped them out with a little painting, a wall, some cabinets and varnishing door frames.

After that we got to spend the afternoon sharing with the "clients" there our testimonies and about Jesus. Since most of the people there do not speak very good English, one of the people who understands English well translates for us so they can understand clearly. The doctor who runs the facility is firmly planted in his faith, but most of the men who stay there do not know Jesus personally, so it was really exticing to get to plant seeds in their hearts about how Jesus helped a couple of us in our group overcome their drug and alcohol addictions. This picture is us in front of one of the doors we varnished.
