Lake Vermilion, MINNESOTA
JUNE 12-20, 2009
Our first missions assignment to Minnesota was a success! The team worked for Pastor Mike and Adeline Potts who are trying to build a ministry on Birch Island on Lake Vermilion in Minnesota. Click on the photos below to see the men and boys at work
The team worked on four major projects during the week. The main house was scraped and painted. Chris Hawbaker led this project and those guys did an awesome job! The was a lot of old cans and junk that needed to be cleaned up and disposed of from were there from a previous owner. The boys under Peter Ogilvie worked hard and made things look even more beautiful. The small cabin that Mike built needed chinked and sealed. And the hardest job was clearing an 8 foot wide trail back into the woods that leads to the future site of the six sided log chapel that we hope to build there next year.
Three men - Peter Ogilvie, Chris Hawbaker and Tom Denlinger - and their boys (Peter, John, Andrew, Aaron, Adam, Alex and Ryan) will be serving in Minnesota, from June 12-20. The team will be driving to Minnesota and working for a week.
This year's job will be clearing land in order to build a 6
sided
log chapel like we did at Strelna Lake in Alaska (pictured below).
The photo to the right is a scale model. We are looking
for a team of men to build this chapel in Minnesota in 2010.
Would you like to be a part of next year's team? It will be helpful if
you like working with logs and have an adventurous appreciation for the
outdoors! This work will eventually provide a place of serenity for the
pastors who visit this island in the boundary waters of Minnesota. Contact
us for more information. But in the meantime, please
pray for these men and boys that will be leaving June 12-20
of this year to prepare the site for next year's construction! Thank you
for all of those who have supported these people financially.

The team worked on four major projects during the week. Click on the photos below to see the men and boys at work:

The hardest job was clearing an 8 foot wide trail back into the woods that leads to the future site of the six sided log chapel that we hope to build there next year. The small cabin that Pastor Mike built needed chinked and sealed. And we also built an refurbished and moved an old outhouse!
Yes, we did have plenty of time for fun after the work was done!
