Potomac Puts on Park Program
Today students arrived at the church at 9 am. An hour with God was the first thing on the list of things to do because of our long day of ministry yesterday. (This is our way of teaching the students that taking time to spiritually recharge is necessary.)
Next the team was sent out into the community to do seven minute servant projects for people. Although serving is important, our main goal is to show God's love to people in doing chores, but also to have an excuse to go door-to-door so we can share our faith with people.
Lunch was back at the church. The students watched a Way of the Master DVD then went back out into the community to pass out fliers and to put on a park program. During the park program Jess H, Johnny S, Kristen A, Kimmie L, Josh K, Sam H, Annie M, Heather S, and Andrew R did a great job at acting out 'Girl America' as a pantomime that acts out what can happen when we put our identity in Christ.
In the evening the students came back to the church for some teaching and debriefing times.
The host families arrived to pick up their students at 8 pm.
We thank God for the cool conversations we got to have today as Jess H. and Monique A. both got to share their faith with two Jehovah Witnesses.
Please continue to pray for divine appointments as we attempt to share the gospel so that all might be saved.
Thanks to all of you prayer warriors out there who keep interceding on our behalf, we really appreciate it!
