Building On RUF SuCo!
18 Sheds were built by RUF Students during their Summer Conference (SuCo) in Panama City in May. In fact they worked so hard I had to go out and get the materials to start another 6 Sheds of Hope!

515 RUF Students participated during the three-week build. We have now set-up 38 Sheds in Panama City and have another 22 Sheds ready to set up We need teams to come to Panama City this summer and help us. If you can bring a small team for a few days let me know. Email me at [email protected].

Building on the foundation of the RUF Summer Conference, we are having a Shed-build at the newly enlarged Dallas Depot during General Assembly (GA) in Dallas this next week. We now have 9,000 square feet of warehouse space! I am putting into practice what I learned at SuCo to have a multi-station Shed-build during GA Week.

Check out the video below and watch these great RUF students at work!
More Churches are Catching the Vision!
Cullman, Aabama was the site for a June 1 Sheds of Hope Training Event. We built two sheds on Saturday, set one up in the parking lot of Christ Covenant Presbyterian Church and packed one for delivery. We had a great turnout, and everyone enjoyed their time working together. They are keeping the sheds on the parking lot for a few weeks so that the church members have time to see this ministry opportunity. They will then move them to a storage area awaiting deployment when a need arises. Other churches in Michigan and Pennsylvania are building sheds as well, in anticipation of helping in future disasters.
Praise and Prayer
Praise:
• For safety on the road and in Panama City during the 15 weeks this year that I've been working at disaster sites

Prayer:
• Pray for the setting up of our newly enlarged Dallas Depot near Love Field
• Pray for continued follow-up with families receiving Sheds of Hope, that relationships will be built that bring them encouragement and wisdom as they deal with the aftermath of the storm.
• Pray for volunteers and recipients who do not yet know Christ, that they will come to know our great Lord and Saviour
Pray that I will be able to encourage churches to see the importance and benefit to the kingdom when follow-up is done.
