SOARING with 72 Volunteers

It is hard to believe that my last blog posting was in April of this year, but that should be seen as a positive fact rather than a negative one because since May we have been busy, busy, busy working on the addition.   We had a total of 72 volunteers here at Soaring Wings Ministries this summer which resulted in a total of 1, 192 volunteer hours.  That is a lot of volunteers and a lot of volunteer hours and we are so very thankful for each and everyone of our volunteers!  We praise God for blessing us with hardworking, generous and cheerful volunteers!  Because of them, Soaring Wings Ministries SOARED this summer!  The addition is no longer looking like a construction zone but it is looking more and more like a home.    ​

You know the saying, "One picture is worth a thousand words" so I am sharing some pictures of what the addition looked like back in April and some pictures of what it looks like today.   In the pictures you see below show that the walls are up and ready for paint.  Installing the drywall, mudding and sanding was a huge, slow, tedious, time consuming project and we are so grateful for our determined volunteers! They worked hard, did not give up and with  finishing touches from a professional drywall company the walls came out beautiful! The shower was also installed which may sound like a simple project but the first shower did not fit through the door and so it had to be returned and another shower purchased.  We were also able to purchase all the interior doors and they were installed by one of our summer volunteers.  Meredith and Ed worked hard to install the bathroom floor as the toilet was being installed by our friends from Albuquerque, New Mexico who gave up some of their vacation time to install both the toilet and the shower for us.  We truly were blessed to have so many wonderful, generous people serve here at Soaring Wings Ministries from all over the country and from Colorado.  Now that the flurry of summer is over and the volunteers are heading back to school, college and work we have a few moments to reflect on all that was accomplished this summer.  We love walking through the rooms in the addition just to look at the walls.  They truly are beautiful and we are filled with gratitude as we look at the addition and see all that God has accomplished.  We do indeed serve a mighty God! 

Please continue to be in prayer for the addition and for Soaring Wings Ministries.  We need to purchase and put up the outside siding on the addition before winter.  We continue to remain debt free in the building of the addition and we move forward with the addition as God provides the funds.

 If you feel led to make a donation to Soaring Wings Ministries for the siding it would be greatly appreciated.  A check can be mailed to Soaring Wings Ministries at 499 Trinity Lane, Wellington, Colorado 80549 or you can make a donation via PayPal at this site.  

​We are so very excited for all that God has done this summer and we are so very grateful for His blessings and guidance over Soaring Wings Ministries.   

To God be the glory for all He has done.
