A Day of Hurricane Relief to End the Summer
Today was a great day.
This morning started at 7Am with breakfast.
The team left at 9AM to do some Hurricane Katrina Relief. The students worked hard at pulling lots of weeds, throwing away lots of debris, and a few other odd jobs to contribute. The students worked hard and came back for showers at about 3PM.
In the evening the team left for some hang out time at the mall. There we ate dinner and relaxed together.
Late in the evening we had a formal candle light ceremony on the beach. The theme of the ceremony was 'committing to take it home'. Here the students committed to keep growing in the Lord and to take what they've learned here on tour back home and put it into practice.
Tomorrow we will spend some team time together until the afternoon when all three Operation Barnabas teams will be reunited. After our day and a half of reunion everyone will head out to Momentum 2007!!
This will be our last blog of the summer. I would just like to officially say thank you to all of the faithful Potomac bloggers! God has really done a work in these teens, and our prayer is that they will continue to grow in the Lord.
A special Thank You to all that you parents who have willingly sacrificed for your student to be here this summer. We recognize the fact that this Operation Barnabas tour would not have been possible without your help.
May the Lord Bless you and Keep you
