We are all having a hard time believing the week is already over. We were all amazed at how fast the week went by. We all had a great time seeing how God used each one of our team members in His own special way.
Friday was a bit different that what we were used to. We started the day out in the community picking up trash and talking with people we came in touch with. We were amazed at how much we accomplished in only a couple hours. Many people had conversations with many of the people in the community. What was encouraging to us, was how many of them said “Thank You” to us.
Friday afternoon we went to our Challenge Circle sites and saw many of children for the last time. It was a great week to show the love of Christ to all the children through our example and the truth of the gospel that we shared verbally. We pray that our team and future teams will continue to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ to bring hope to a community that desperately needs it.
Friday evening we had our last supper at Café Reconcile as a group and then headed over to the Church for what we called the “Say So.” This was time for people to share how that saw God work this week. We had a time of sharing, singing and a slideshow of our week.
We left Saturday at 7:15 AM and traveled 650 Miles to Festus, Missouri (South of St. Louis) and arrived at 6:30 PM. We plan to leave at 7:30 AM Sunday and hope to return to First Free by 8 PM or earlier.
Thank you all for your encouraging comments and prayers. We truly felt the presence of God with us all week and we know that is because of your prayers.
