Tribute to Rob McJunkin

Another person who has worked on the new Recreation center is Rob McJunkin.  Rob worked long hours on the tractors in preparing the site for construction.  At one point he came out of very dangerous accident when he rolled the giant tractor that he was operating.  Rob works for Mike Roth and Mike works for Kent Halvorson.  Both of them were just happy that Rob came out unhurt even though they lost a tractor in the accident.  I also was so thankful that God watched over Rob not only for his sake but for the sake of his wonderful wife Nancy and his daughter Anna.   Nancy is a junior high school teacher and a member of the Washington Seminary Board of Directors.  Anna is a dynamic leader in our youth ministry.  She has an incredibly positive influence on all the other young people from our church and in the community.  Both are incredibly vibrant Christians that just draw so many of us closer to God. 

Rob has quite a story of God's grace doing something amazing in his life.  He is  also one of the people going down to Honduras to help build a school for the children who live and work in the city dump.  Rob also worked very long hard hours in moving the dirt because this was not only his job but his church family. 

One of the reasons Halvorson construction has built so many churches is that Kent has designed his company to take advantage of all the volunteerism that arises in a church and allow them to stretch the value of every gift.  What an exciting team God has formed to build this new recreation center.  Next week, I will tell you about another one.
