How can God use you?

The four-man team from New Zealand arrived by mission airplane.

They landed with eager hearts and hands, ready to work. Within just minutes, Gene Trudeau writes, they were hard at work. They had come to replace the Trudeaus’ rusty old sheet metal roof with brand new plastic roofing.

There was quite a lot of roof to replace—most of it covers Gene and his wife, Carol’s office space—the space where they work on translation, writing Bible lessons, printing materials and laminating. Green plastic roofing that looked like jungle green in the company brochure was ordered. It turned out to be a blue green in sharp contrast to the jungle. But at least it keeps the rain out.

In preparation for the project, scaffolding constructed of poles was set in place by Manobo men who are also working on sealing holes under the corrugation to keep out rats, snakes and other unwanted would-be invaders.

Replacing old solar panels that were no longer putting out much power and installing new solar panels for efficiency and economy was an important part of the renovation plan. “We are so happy to now have plenty of power from our new solar panels to run our computer, lights and other equipment and no longer have to run our generator for hours every day,” Gene explains.

Adding to the blessing of a new roof, the volunteers from New Zealand also found time to build an addition to the office area to store office supplies, and accomplished some difficult floor replacement tasks.

“It was a real blessing having them,” Gene says. “If it were not for fellow believers like you praying, helping with funds and coming to do the needed repairs … we would not be able to continue here in providing materials for Manobo believers.”

God uses the faces, hands and feet of His people to accomplish His work. How might He use you?
