Oak Grove Baptist Church
Posted by Pastor Don A. Elbourne Jr.
The great folks from Oak Grove Baptist Church in Monticello KY did it again. They turned another pile of lumber into a beautifully framed house in short order. We can’t thank this church enough for their hard work and dedication to the ongoing rebuilding of our community. The above pictures represent three days work.

Only 3 days?? Absolutely incredible!! It’s a God thing!!
Actually, we can’t thank you enough for making it possible for us to come. It is such a blessing to our entire group to have the privilege of coming down there. Thank you to all of you at Lakeshore that continue in your service to the Lord and make it possible for people like us to be able to come and do what little we can to help. Your dedicated service to the Lord and to your community is such a great example for the rest of us. We pray that God will continue to bless you in your efforts and we know that HE will. James, a special thank you from our guys for your leadership and help.
WAY TO GO GUYS. MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU.
