The Fall mission for October 2020 was at Chesterfield Baptist Church 6985 County Road 15 in Gaylesville, Alabama. The mission was to dry in a 40' by 105' fellowship hall and classrooms -- a wood frame building on a concrete slab which was in place upon our arrival. Part of the building will be divided into classrooms with 8' ceiling and the fellow ship hall will have 12' ceilings. It was desired that the project be "dried in" ready for exterior siding and sheetrock on the interior walls.
Thursday October 16th a total of 54 volunteers were present at 10AM. The exterior walls were in place by noon and trusses with decking were completed on one third of the building by four PM. The remaining trusses were set on Friday morning and decking completed on the roof and sides by 4 PM in the afternoon. A group of 25 students from Auburn were present on Saturday morning and completed insulation of the exterior walls for the entire building. Saturday saw additional volunteers complete the single roofing and the installation of two doors. Windows will be installed at a later date as well as the interior finishing work.
God blessed us with beautiful weather, mild temperatures, and the workers needed to complete the project to the desired point. God also blessed us with safety while we worked and during our travels. A special "thank you" to the many volunteers who joined us for the first time and to our faithful members from Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Montana, Indiana and Alabama, and to the members of Chesterfield Baptist Church who supported our work with refreshments and deserts at lunch.
