Check This Out

During my campaign to raise enough money to purchase a plane ticket to Kenya, I met an interesting young man who was a seasoned veteran of the mission field. This fella told me wild stories of traveling to the Gulf Coast seven times since Hurricane Katrina ripped through several states and thousands of human lives. He also recounted his many trips to the Caribbean to plant trees in Haiti. This guy was the real deal with plenty of mission experience under his belt to teach to this young, hungry disciple. When he learned of my calling from the Lord, he quickly drew out his checkbook and fired off a donation to send me on my mission.

Now Dick “Crookedpaw” Carney has a new assignment from the man upstairs and a new blog to help get the word out about this new mission. He writes:

"My current effort centers around an attempt to purchase and outfit an equipment trailer to support our construction teams when they are in the field."

"I formed a group from the five local Presbyterian church's and we have purchased a new 7X12', single axle tag along trailer. Its just your basic trailer but does have an extended height feature that we thought would be helpful. It has bi-fold barn type doors in the rear and a small pedestrian door on the front right side. We have fabricated and installed a heavy duty ladder rack with an access ladder on the right rear. Our plans are to install a propane powered generator similar to those in RV's. This will power the air compressor, table and compound miter saws, lights and other power tools."

Sounds like Dick is planning to make many more trips to the Gulf Coast to help fellow Americans in need. Please visit his web site, Crookedpaw.net or just click on the link under Mission Trip Bloggers to the right, and learn how you can help in his efforts to do God’s will.
