Behind the Scenes in NYC

Dr. Bill Jones answers a common question about how his time is spent in New York City when he is not leading chapel services or hosting a mission team. He describes spending eight hours with his wife cleaning and power washing the church basement, where the Covenant Mercy Mission runs its food distribution, and patching holes in the mortar and sealing cracks on the west-facing side of the building in hopes of painting it in the spring. This behind-the-scenes work shows that maintaining the facility God has provided is a vital part of sustaining the chapels, food distribution, and spiritual outreach in the city. The account reminds listeners that faithful ministry includes humble, practical labor carried out in dependence on the strength God supplies. The episode closes with a request for prayer for both the spiritual outreach and the upkeep of the building God has given the ministry.
