Today's blog reviews our home-building project with Habitat and our recent Warren County Fair outreach...
Habitat for Humanity’s Faith Build 2011 for Lebanon began with an on-site celebration July 10. Danny Mitchell and I were among the guests who met Randy Fields and his sons, Richard and Brandon, as they begin the exciting project of building their own home.

| (L to R) The Fields Family and Danny Mitchell at the on-site celebration held July 10. |
Located on Holland Avenue, the project site is right across the yard from Countryside Community Church of the Nazarene. Volunteers for this project have permission from the Countryside Church to park in their parking lot and walk to the site through the yard. This makes parking for this project much safer and more convenient.
Several representatives from Habitat, including our coordinators Natalie Nuce and Tara Price, were there along with several of HFH board members. After I had the honor of opening the ceremony in prayer, Pastor Lester Jones from Countryside shared a devotional. At the end of the ceremony, we had the opportunity to write on the walls [really] which included bible verses and personal wishes for the family.
Our UBC “wall raising” scheduled for July 23rd was cancelled because of some permit hold-ups…sorry team! (It’s missions right? We just have to be flexible and fluid in adjusting our schedules.)
But that brings us to our next opportunity for folks to serve on July 30th. Please contact Danny Mitchell as soon as possible at mitchdj@go-concepts.com or 513.850.9012 if you would like to participate.

| Fans were a popular give-away at the Warren County Fair. |
The Warren County Fair, July 18-23, was held at the fairgrounds on North Broadway in Lebanon. This year’s Warren County Fair booth volunteers provided free water for hot and thirsty fair-goers and a free diaper changing station for families with small children. Our forty volunteers handed out hundreds of Challenge Newspapers and Gospel tracts plus information about Urbancrest, Living Word Bible Church (our church plant) and the Resource Ministry.
Even though attendance was low due to the heat, booth workers distributed 2500 hand-held fans shaped like cowboy hats with John 3:16 printed on them. The fans sure helped folks to cool off in the high heat index that lasted through Fair Week and also sparked some great conversation about John 3:16, giving Urbancrest volunteers a chance to share the Gospel by using the Evangecube.
