Serving the Disciples of Christ
Today the students ate breakfast and headed off to Washington DC to serve in a ministry called D.O.C. (Disciples of Christ). This is a church plant in the inner city targeting children and families for the gospel.
The D.O.C. during the summer functions like a summer day camp for kids. We spent a majority of our day here just hanging out with these kids. The team helped show God's love by giving lots of hugs, piggy back rides, and playing games with the children. We also did two programs in an attempt to act out spiritual truths that can be easily understood.
In the evening we made our way back to Calvert County GBC for dinner. After dinner the team had some teaching time led by Stacie Fay about 'stewardship'. She spoke about being a good steward of all the things God gives us, including this summer and the relationships around us.
At 8 pm the host families were here at the church to pick up the students and take them home for the night.
You can be praying for the leaders and students as tomorrow they will be engaging in a long day of mid-tour evaluations. Please pray that the students would be sharpened and encouraged by these evaluations. Also, the evening will be filled with lots of teaching times, so please ask God to be speaking through the leaders who would be speaking and the students who will be learning.
This will be a long day so please ask God to give us strength.
