First day down....and it was no warm up. We were straight in with activities after a leisurely ride up to the twin cities.
First thing was to gather as a group and pray for our time. Set the stage. Get perspective. See the big picture.
Father, please use us this week to bless people and glorify you, in spite of our weaknesses and blind spots. We are your servants.
After that we went into the local neighborhoods and distributed leaflets about upcoming outreach activities in the next few days and weeks. Fun to do that with Abi.
After getting acquainted with our fellow MTTCrs over Sloppy Joes, we went upstairs into the church sanctuary to join 300 clients from the local Teen Challenge program for a time of worship. Un... believable.
Vibrant. Passionate. Engaged. Uninhibited. Encouraging. Diverse. Loud. Roof-raisin'. This was truly some holy hootin and hollerin. God was smiling over us tonight.
It had to be one of the most genuine, fun filled, joyful worship services I've ever attended. Folk there knew that Christ had changed their life and they weren't afraid to shout it from the rooftops ...or the pews in this case.
The 7 testimonies reinforced the unexplainable supernatural regeneration that most of these folk had experienced.
Now I'm excited about what tomorrow will bring.
Goodnight friends. Thanks again for joining us in prayer.
Sandy (for Abigail too)
PS. I'm having technical issues with the inclusion of photos in my blog posts. I'll attempt to add them later when I get home. Thanks for your patience.
