WORLD RENEW TEAMS PREPARE TO ARRIVE
WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 2013 AT 01:28PM
Greetings to Ocean Community Church! We are looking forward to serving as project managers for World Renew in your community. In the next two months we will be taking care of the many little detials involved in having a team ready to start working by Sept 14, 2013. Several couples have already signed up so I'm sure the team will be completed quite quickly. A little about ourselves, our home is in Three Rivers Michigan, which is in the southern part of the state. Rich has had life-long experience in construction supervision as well as owning his own construction business for many years. I have been involved in EMS and worked in a Trauma center and NICU for the last 20 years before retirement. We have been led by the Holy Spirit to devote our retiremnt years to disaster relief work, and it has truly changed our lives. We feel it is an honor that God has given us this opportunity to serve Him. We have come to bless others, but we go home the ones blessed. We are looking forward to partnering with you. - Rich and Phyl Greventstuk
