DAY 4::
Day 4…what a day! Trying to put all we experienced into words can not possibly do any of of it justice. We kicked off with Backyard Bible Clubs again. All five groups reported a great turn out and spent the morning loving on all the kids and teaching them about Christ. The students are quickly building relationships with the kids in their areas and are really learning what it means to be a light to this community.
When we wrapped up the Backyard Bible Clubs, we quickly ate our Subway sandwiches:) and headed back to a park near the church where we we served lunch to the homeless. We spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out with them, getting to know them, loving on them, and letting them love on us and share their stories. We had the opportunity to pray with some, and share with them the story of Christ. We all left there with a new perspective on how blessed we are, and also with a deeper love and appreciation for each of the people we met.
We ended this amazing day with a bang, taking a trip to The Ballpark at Arlington to watch the Texas Rangers play the Toronto Blue Jays. The game was less than impressive, with the Blue Jays shutting out the Rangers with a 9-0 win. Though the action from the game was not all that amusing, we of course found various ways to entertain ourselves throughout. We took full advantage of the “all you can eat” buffet:) and enjoyed hanging out and just spending time with one another.
We are looking forward to what God is going to do with and through us tomorrow. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Until tomorrow night…
