The David Carnley Project Dedication of Home on February 27, 2008 And Post Dedication Finish Work |
||
| As the RV group began to prepare to return to their own homes, The MDS paused to dedicate the nearly completed (to be finished by the next group of MDS volunteers) home. There were friends of David, the MDS volunteers, people from Self Help Housing of East Texas, and a felt presence of the Holy Spirit. |
|
|
|
 |
||
| The evening began with a joyful fellowship. | ||
|
|
||
| Everybody wanted their pictures taken with David; hence, lots of cameras and flashes. Memories to last a lifetime. | ||
