Facilities Maintenance
Please be aware that SPR has eliminated the Facilities Maintenance position for Cokes Capel and has requested that trustees fulfill repairs and maintenance with volunteers whenever possible.  If you are a member or friend of Cokes Chapel, that would be willing to donate your skills (repair work, landscape or gardening) to the church in helping to maintain our buildings or beautify the grounds, please contact a trustee.  If you become aware of a repair that is necessary, Trustee Lee Harrison has volunteered to take the incoming reports.  He can be reached by phone or email:  Lee Harrison, mlee.harrison@gmail.com, cell: 678-591-4246.

 
NEWS FROM OUR MISSIONARY, Caleb Earle, From Cape Verde, Africa:

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season with your loved ones! Praying for you all as we enter this new year that God would show you more of Himself and that you would find more and more peace as you serve Him this year.
We just arrived in Cape Verde and are settling in well. We spent the first 3 months in Italy, as you know, working with several different ministry projects in the area.
As we settle into life in Africa, pray for us in these areas:
               > for our transition, as Africa is opposite in every way from Italy.  People are open to God, the church is growing and it hot here! Italy has been super cold, folks difficult to reach.  Pray for our wisdom.
               > courage as new projects move students’ out of their comfort zones.      
               > as I begin preparation for Camp in Italy, for volunteers and strength. 
Once again, thank you so much for your generosity and being willing to support my ministry here in prayer and financially! You are making a difference! Looking forward to being with you when I come back in July! Happy New Year!  Caleb
