refugee furniture project

many of you will know we were blessed recently to participate in the transportation of furniture from Georgia to Kentucky.  the main man behind the project was Paul Espy (Sherry's dad).  he worked tirelessly with his wonderful church (Mountain View Community Church) and other friends to collect, pack, and deliver a 24foot truckload of much needed household items and furniture.  we were also thrilled to have Dick and Judy Gabriel from RiverStone 'come along for the ride' - they served with their usual (and always remarkable) joy and energy to collect and distribute the donations.  the local refugee agency (KRM) we have been involved with for many years very much appreciated all the work put in and, as always, God's kingdom economy meant everyone came away from the project nourished and blessed.

here are some pictures from the effort...there are more pictures to see - if you click on any single image you will be taken to the full collection at our flickr page.
