hey folks!
well day 3 is over at Mission Arlington! it's been an eventfuly trip, but God is proving His faithfulness over and over! He is amazing!
our students have done an incredible job of being flexible and rolling with whatever happens! the days have been jam packed with activities from 7AM to 5PM and we have gotten a little downtime in the evenings.
here is one story from one of our students about the week....
well..everyday we go and we gather the kids by knocking on their door,then we hang out with them..and just really try to connect to them. We sing all different kinds of songs,play games,tell Bible stories,and also do a craft. Most groups talk about how they have a lot of kids and how they are a handful but we tend to have small groups wich in a way i think is better for us because its easier to have 1 on 1 time with the kids because we can tell they don't have any clue what we are talking about when we say the word "Jesus" or "God". Its almost like starting at the basics. Today we made salvation bracelets wich gave us great opportunities to talk with them about salvation..one girl in particular really touched my heart because she didnt have a clue and in her home she's not even allowed to have a Bible because her culture. That just really gave me a reality check on how much we take the Bible for granted, by just leaving it in the floor board of our car, and some kids don't even know what it is. I'm really praying that God will help all of us some how connect to her heart so that she can be an example to her brother and also her family.
pray that tomorrow will be a great day as we finish up our Rainbow Express groups in the morning and afternoon. also pray for our church bus that is in the shop. pray that it gets healed tomorrow!! peace be.
