Today was another great day. I ‘m sad that it is already half way over. There is so much to talk about that I do not know where to start. We went out door to door this morning. This has never been something that I was comfortable with doing even though I was willing. This week has opened my eyes and I have a new found courage to share God’s word. The more you do it the easier it is. This week has tought me that even though doing cards and making phone calls at GROW is great,door to door is truely an awesome expirence in it’s self. It is going to be much easier and I will no longer be so relunctant to go.
We did a VBS with the children today and it was greater than I could have imagined. Adam lead the bible story as the rest of the group acted out the story. we sang songs with the children and played games we had about 130-140 kids. at one point we played a game and we had enough children that when they lined up they filled the room from wall to wall it was truely amazing. Tonight we had one of the best worship services yet. Rich had a wonderful service and it is so amazing to know and see that our God is their God even when we can’t speak the same language. Attiendance was not high tonight due to the wheather,there was probably only 20-30 people excluding us but that place was alive. When we worshiped through singing the noise was louder than our church packed to capacity, at one point we were singing “Here I am to worship” in spanish and without even realizing it Amy and I were singing along with them in spanish. the work that God has done here is unbelieveable and this has been a trip that has truely touched my heat and changed my heart forever. God is truely amazing.
Erin, It is such a blessing to see how God is blessing you all to bless others. This is how we all experience God’s love for us and his mercy shown to all who believe. How precious the experiences you are all having! Your Dad and I can hardly wait to see you and Adam. Please hug each team member and assure them they are being prayed for daily.
Love, Momma
We are so proud and blessed to know you!!!! We can’t change the wind, even though we want too!!!, but we can set our Sails to reach our destiny, with HIS help!!!!
Erin when I read your comments I got goose bumps. God is really working. I can tell he is not only using you to change the lives of others , he is also blessing YOU!!! I am praying for you and Adam and your team. The pictures on the web page of the children are so sweet.
