Missionaries, bring your pictures to the meeting after Sunday Evening Service and we will put together a larger gallery for everyone to enjoy! Click Here to go to our Photo Gallery Page! Friday It is about 2:00pm Central time and the big trucks and cook team are about 30 miles north of Cincinnati in a rain storm. The early bus should be just ahead of us and we just got a call that the second bus left Oakland Woods Church 10 minutes ago. Yesterday was another awesome day as we saw God continue to work in a way only he can. Thursday was decision day at the bybc and 19 children prayed to recieve Christ as their savior! Our celebration time last night was a very special time. Several people shared the things that God had shown and/or taught them this last week. Pastor Tim from New Beginings Baptist Church brought his praise band to minister to us and followed that with a time of comedy [his former profession]. Pastor John Smith from Shepards Fold Baptist Church spoke to us and described the effect that he believed our group had on not just the people we encountered but on the Churches we ministered to and the Oakland County area as a whole. He asked us to pass on to the Church his heartfelt thanks for supporting this mission trip. Please pray for Pastor John and Shepards Fold as they celebrate their very first service this Sunday Morning, June 29th. All told, the week saw 119 salvations, 30 other decisions and many, many changed lives both in the people of Detroit and our own team. Hopefully these numbers will increase as we have not gotten a report from the last day of sports camp today! We have no doubt that your prayers were a huge part of the work we saw God do in our time with these fantastic people. Well, we have reached Cincinnati (and RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC). Continue to pray that God will ride with us and bring us home safely Click on the gallery below to see scenes from Thursday.
Wednesday We have decision day in bybc club tomorrow. Please be in prayer as we share the plan of salvation with all of the young people we have been working with all week. Click on the gallery below to see scenes from Tuesday and Wednesday
Tuesday Our teams have just left to go to their respective bybc and sports camp. Please pray that God will send young people to hear about Jesus. Thanks for checking on us, more later. Click the gallery below to see scenes from Monday
Monday The turnout for our Back Yard Bible Clubs (bybc) and Sports Camp was not quite what we had hoped for so everyone did some canvasing and hopefully the numbers will be up tomorrow. It is trying to look like rain again this afternoon, but we trust God to hold off the rain just as he did last night. We serve a mighty GOD. Click on the gallery below to see some scenes from Sunday. Sunday Sunday has been a GREAT DAY. We all had a good time worshiping with the different Churches we are working with this week. Bro. Paul preached at our host Church and did an outstanding job. The weather has been outstanding [although as we sit here at our first block party site waiting to start, the rain is threatening, but God will take care of it!] We have even been eating our meals outside under a huge tent. You will see pictures of some of us setting it up. We are hoping and praying for God to do awesome things this week. Please pray along with us. More updates later. Click on the gallery below to see some of the scenes from Saturday. WE ARE HERE!!!!!!!!! Everyone is finally here! Praise God that everyones trip was uneventful, no health issues, no mechanical problems. We are settling in and unpacking. Pray for us as we worship tomorrow with the different Churches we will be working with this week. Also pray for our Block Party tomorrow at New Beginings Baptist Church. This Thursday Night PRAYER VIGIL A poster will be in the gathering area for you to sign up for a time to come to the Sanctuary and pray. It's Here! |
