Mission Arlington...Day 1

hey folks!

today was a great start to our mission trip! we loaded up the vans at 7:50 this morning to head to MA Headquarters to get our apartment assignments and head out. after a brief time of orientation our 3 different teams headed out to 3 different apartment complexes. our students did an incredible job in the midst of 100 degree heat. we kept them hydrated and they ran with children hard all day long. when we get to the complex our students go door to door gathering the children to come to the central location in the complex to meet. we then take them through different stations such as crafts, memory verse, Bible story, music, and puppet time.

we then broke for a sack lunch before we headed out to our 3 different afternoon locations. one of our teams had 58 children show up! wow!! most saw 20-30 at each location! after we finished our afternoon time we headed back to the hotel for some swimming and dinner. we just wrapped up our evening devotional time and are on our ways to catch some zzzz's!

continue to pray for the Lord to give us eyes and hearts of compassion and for us to be bold to walk through doors that He is opening up for us to share the Gospel! peace be.
