Day two at Longview was a hard earned success. We began the day with the devotions as the whole class read and meditated on Ephesians chapter 2. After breakfast, we split up into groups for work.
Longview Ranch has been hosting ministry groups who are helping this area of Appalachia recover from the hurricane that hit in September. Part of Longview‘s property was destroyed, and some of their neighbors lost lives, property, and family members. Our team helped maintain and stain the cabins used to host these work groups, and they also helped move and haul scrap metal and other debris. The moving and hauling crew Walked many miles today and loaded trailer after trailer with debris, metal, logs, and whatever else needed to be cleaned up. The painting crew repainted five different cabins on campus, including a couple that were several stories high. (Shout out to Mr. Visser who was the ladder king with his paint roller!) They also repainted fencing with a stain that prevents the wood from rotting. All of the groups worked so hard that we surprised the Longview staff with how much we were able to accomplish in one day!
The food at Longview is incredible because, as the students have recognized, it is made with love . Big kids have enjoyed getting to know the Longview staff, including Boca Christian Alum, Sam Blakely. We enjoyed burgers for lunch and nacho bowls for dinner with warm brownies and ice cream, a crowd favorite! The evening included Gabby Leon, Clare, and Jagger leading us in worship, and Mr. Hood leading the class in a time of discussion about Ephesians. To put a cherry on top of our epic day, a competitive game of manhunt was organized.
