Putting Our Training Into Action!- Monday, June 22




What a day it has been. We finally got to put all the things we were trained to do into action. Our group also had time in the morning for devotions and group time where Sarah challenged us to “make the most of every opportunity.” We then had the privilege of listen to the testimony of Tyrone Christ of the Castle Rock Church youth pastor. He reminded us that he is a product of the Challenge Circle. Our team was split up into 5 different groups for day camp, prayer walk and basketball outreach. The temperature was 94 degrees, but we heard that it was about the same back home. Our group worked great in all areas. Day camp was pretty chaotic today, but they tell us that Monday’s are the hardest. We had a brief break and then off to dinner and then to the Melph and Calliope housing projects to do the Challenge Circle. We were “hyped” and had a blast playing and teaching them about Jesus.

Praises and Prayer:
We praise God for everyone working well together and everyone surviving the extreme heat. Prayer: It is suppose to reach nearly 100 degrees for the next couple of days, so please pray for all the teams to stay healthy and hydrated. Continue to pray for opportunities to share Christ with Jesus.

Monday’s Limerick

We started our work at day camp
When we were done me were rather damp
As the day got hotter
We were told to drink lots of water
At 10 PM were told to turn off the lamp
