Trained and Braving The Heat!


Today we were trained in all the activities we will be doing throughout the week (challenge circle and day camp). We learned what we would be doing with the kids all week. The heat index was 102! We also had a Concert of Prayer, which included a time of worship and prayer for our nation and our group this week. Everyone is feeling pretty good, getting excited about our week ahead. Our group was divided into 2 teams that will do ministry at separate sites each evening.

Prayer Requests:
Endurance throughout the week
That God would continue to build unity
That God would work in the hearts of the kids



Before we ate we shouted a cheer
Which made us all get in to gear
We also had fun
In the very hot sun,
Later we prayed
And thought it was a good day
