We have been privileged to have 4 short-term teams come and help us here in the south of Long Beach this fall. Three of them were work teams and one was strictly a Vision team who came to see how they could join in what God is doing here. They have all been a huge encouragement. They gave up vacation time to come and help here. They worked tirelessly in brutal temperatures, never complaining, always full of laughter and joy. We feel honored to call these people friends and will never forget how they came to help at a time of great need. Without them, we would simply have an empty building sitting here but because of their sacrifice, the Lotus House has turned into a true Oasis in the desert! Here are some pictures of the transformation thus far. There will be many more to come as we continue to furnish and decorate in the future. The murals for the Kid's Play Area were painted by a guy from Philly who is a professional artist. The coffee bar is one of a kind with old boards from a shipwreck used for the drawers.
