I always enjoy doing something I haven't done before. This week I got to learn how to stretch barbed wire. The compound that is being built had fence on three sides, and our mission was to get fencing on the fourth side. The compound was 150 meters by 150 meters, and the fence must discourage people from coming in unauthorized, so we strung 13 strands of barbed wireover the 6' height of the posts. We figured out how to stretch the wire using nothing but a 4' prybar. The first run of wire went pretty slowly as we figured out our technique, but when we hit our stride, we got to moving. Everyone figured out how they could help and we each found our various areas of gifting. There were stretching specialists, primary nailing specialists, secondary nailing specialists, and transport specialists. None of us had ever stretched barbed wire before, but as Nehemiah described his crew, the people had a mind to work. We had a great time.
