Things have been going great. We have settled in and are working hard in the community already. Each of your children miss you dearly!!! We had some really great conversations last night, and God is clearly working in and through our students already. The students have been challenged to connect with Gospel and those who do not know Christ. Last night in our Church Group Devotion time, I also challenged the kids to disconnect from anything that keeps them from connecting with the Gospel. Our adults also spent some time focusing in on the heart of our ministry and how they can better connect with students. Brainstorming, ideas, and projects are in the works. Look for changes and new conversations when we get back.
On a fun note, Scotty and I took five 14 and 15 year old boys to Olive Garden tonight. We will never do that again! We laughed a lot but I feel terrible for our poor waitress. However, your kids tipped well. Also, last night was a themed cartoon dress up night which featured several of our kids. We also had a Smurf family from our church including yours truly as Papa Smurf. We are out and in the community serving. Continue to pray for us as we press deeper into the heart of the Gospel tonight.
Pray for attentive ears and listening hearts. Pray for clarity from scripture. Pray for a connection with the Gospel. Pray for safety as we travel. Pray for courage for students to respond to what God is doing in their lives.
