Bill Parker

I’ve done this “reconstruct thing” for about 10 years now to the point I can almost do it in my sleep.  Working on logistical issues for projects is almost as easy as breathing. The best part about that though is it seems to have freed me up a little to really watch what God is doing during a project week. Take today, for example. I was having lunch with a group from Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church in Wilmington, NC when all the sudden the post lady came to the back of the house with 4 Domino’s pizzas. She just wanted to give the group something for what they were doing.

Bill Parker, their former youth minister and now my friend started talking to her and called us over to circle around her to pray for her and a member of her family with a terminal illness. After doing so, one of the ladies with the group said, “you know, there is so much more to this than roofing a house.”

Today I thank God for Bill Parker. He’s led groups to ReConstruct for 6 years and they come here to be used by God to change lives, not just repair a home.
