The Carpenter's Project

This week I had the privilege of working along side of some amazing people. They were the people who volunteered to work at The Carpenter's Project in Ellwood City, PA. The Carpenter's Project helps those who need work done on their house or property but for some reason cannot do it themselves. Usually the people are elderly, widows/widowers, etc. The work is done in the name of the ultimate Carpenter - Jesus Christ.The I was assigned to crew 18. Our job was to scrape and paint a house for a widow who could not do it herself. The crew leader, Steve Miller, was very knowledgeable and had a wonderful way of building relationships with people and a great encourager! He headed up our crew of eight (more came to help later in the week) as we scraped, primed and painted the house.
I know that all of the crews involved with The Carpenter's project were a witness to a community to what can happen in the name of Jesus Christ. Testimonies were given, lives were shared, the Word of God was spoken. Lives were changed!
