MMAP, Maranatha Ministries, New Hampshire, Week 1

We arrived safe and sound at the project at Maranatha Ministries, in New Durham, New Hampshire.


After setting up, we found out there was a camp going on and there was to be an Open House/Fair on Monday, and help was needed! The ladies helped by peeling and cutting up apples for apple crisp, to be used for both activities. The fair on Monday brought out over 100 people, and included, among several other stations, cider making,

and a bounce house, which they assigned me!


Since I was at the bounce house all day I did not get to take any pictures of the other activities going on. Everyone was excited about the activities, and the weather could not have been more beautiful. Lunch of barbeque chicken, hotdogs, salads and desserts was provided for all of the guests.

Summit Center is being built in phases. The first phase was the director’s home, in the picture it is the back left.

They are now working on the main sanctuary of the center, which is the second part of phase II. One of the other ladies, Lois, and I painted doors and around windows, while the others had office and cleaning assignments.
Last month, MMAP started putting up the insulation and sheetrock. This month, the goal is to finish putting up the sheetrock


and complete the electrical wiring.




On Wednesday, our hosts, director and his wife, the Edmunds, invited us over for a potluck dinner and hymn sing. It was a great way to wind up the first week!



Ladies day out was in Rochester, having lunch at Cafe at Governor’s Inn, on Thursday,




and of course we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It is amazing how simple shopping for food can be fun with the right mix of friends~
