Okay, this isn't a photo of me and the girls from Boys Town at the ground-breaking ceremony, but that's because we don't start until tomorrow. Did you catch that? We break ground TOMORROW!!!
Oops! Did I forget to mention here that we FINALLY got the land? It was a long process, but it is all official now!
Tomorrow morning, a wonderful group from my home church, Believers Church, will begin pouring cement for the foundation.
But let me back up about 4 weeks...while I was in Spain with 24-7 Prayer, some amazing friends here began clearing the land and doing the hard work of digging footings so the team could pour foundation this week. Some of the people who helped were boys from the neighborhood! Some were people who had recently been deported from the United States who are trying to earn money to go back to their homes. They gave freely of their time and services, believing that God would take care of them if they chose to trust Him. (Miraculously, chicken and ice cream showed up at their shelter that night, for "the people who helped clear Kelly's land," and we still don't know who it was from!)
I'll post updates this week on the process...thanks for your prayers!
woo hoo from liverpool xx

It is awesome to see the faithfulness of God at work and a woman of God who is willing to "step in" it encourages me to step into all God has for the city of Greensboro, nc.
thanks for stepping in,

Kelly,
I am SO excited for you! I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures. This makes me wish even more that I was coming this Christmas so I could see you and the changes in your land. Alas, its not to be so this time around. My thoughts and prayers are with you and this project!
