Day 3.....Charleston is gorgeous!

Welp....Day 3 is almost in the books!  It has been a busy day as we've traveled to Charleston, South Carolina.  It was an awesome day getting to catch up with former FBC members Tommy and Freida Blackbun.  They live in the Charleston area now and have been incredible encouragers to all of us!  After lunch we went to First Baptist Church, Charleston which is one of the oldest Southern Baptist churches in the south.  It was an incredible experience to worship in the same building that I had the opportunity to study about while at OBU and Seminary!  Our worship time was incredibly moving as we entered the sanctuary in silence and exited in silence.  I wish words could capture the emotion and the Spirit of what happened in that church today!!  I believe that God was definitely inhabiting the praises of His people!

This afternoon we had a lot of time to explore downtown Charleston.  Tons of history, hold houses, and great seafood.  We finished our experience today with our worship time in a hot meeting room focusing on who God is.  Last night we looked at the opening of the Lord's Prayer 'Our Father' and tonight we focused on the phrase 'who is in heaven'.  We studied the conversation between God and Moses in Exodus 3 as God explained who He was to Moses.  It was a great night of worship!

Tomorrow we will sing at a retirement village and then enjoy some more of Charleston.  Tomorrow night students will be in host homes in preparation for a fruitful day on Sunday.  We will have the opportunity to sing 4 times on Sunday.  Pray for good rest tomorrow night and continued safety!
