From North Dakota-
A White Shield church is getting help with the construction of an addition to its building, thanks to six volunteers from a church in Midland, Texas.
The six men from Christ Church Midland arrived Thursday to start work on the addition to St. Paul's Episcopal Church, southwest of the community of White Shield on the Fort Berthold Reservation.
For one of the Midland men this is his second trip to White Shield this summer. Tom Talbot, the youth minister at Christ Church Midland, was in White Shield in July with a ministry team of high school and college students and adults, running a Bible camp at St. Paul's and other activities in the community. Talbot has led youth volunteer groups to St. Paul's for 12 years the past three years with Christ Church Midland.
The Midland volunteers' project is to build the main structure for the addition to St. Paul's. On Friday, the volunteers John Holmes, Shannon Smith, John Brenner, Gary Oknefski, Carl Englestad and Talbot had the project under way.
The volunteers have various expertise in building. Some of the volunteers have done similar work, including two of them who built a youth center in Guatemala and another who has built homes for Habitat for Humanity.
