We started the morning with breakfast and a time of worship and after a short time of teaching we broke off into quiet time. After that some more teaching and ministry prep and lunch before we headed off to our first time of ministry!
For our first ministry both teams headed off to the home of a pastor who opens up his home on Thursdays to women and children of men whose husband's have either had a history of drug and alcohol abuse or are in jail. Ministry was AWESOME!!! Team 1 did some dramas and testimonies with the adults and had the opportunity to pray with about 30 people for various things!!! Praise God!
During this time, team 2 (my team and of course the best team!!), got to spend some time loving on the kids of these families. A lot of the kids were pretty shy when we first got there, but by the time we left most of them were smiling and laughing and having a great time! The arts and crafts and ballon animals may have had something to do with it, but I think we all know that it's the love of Jesus that changes things! It's so good to see the love of Jesus at work flowing through the lives of these students!!! His love really is the only thing that has the power to save a life!!!
Well, it's getting late and I'm off to enforce lights out...I can't wait to get some sleep! On that note, most of us are doing a lot better today after a good nights rest! Thank you for your prayers! We feel and appreciate them!!!
Here are a few of the pics from todays ministry time as a pic of the hotel we're staying in...
We love you! Thank you for your continued prayers! We cannot do this without you!!!
