Going Great!

Things are going great down here. Sorry I didn't get a blog post yesterday. We have had two outreaches at this point, one at Lowell and one at Kings View. Both went very well. The missionaries that we're serving have said that the outreaches are one of the best things they've seen any groups do, as far as helping them get the word out about what they're doing and actually serving the communities goes. That was encouraging.
The students are doing great, with great attitudes and hearts. Our speaker, Paul, has really been challenging them to know Truth, not as an object or commodity, but as the person of Jesus Christ. Knowing Truth means knowing Jesus in an intimate personal relationship. A lot of students have been really challenged in their walk with God, which has been phenominal.
Tonight we are not doing an outreach. Instead, we're going to have a longer chapel time with an opportunity to share what God's doing in your life, and get rid of some baggage that's been holding you back. I'm really looking forward to it and know that God's going to do some incredible things. Please be praying for the students as they let down thier walls and let God into the scary places and for the staff as they do follow up and counseling. We're trusting God to bring freedom tonight!
A couple of our team members are sick right now- Megan Countryman and Brittney Miller. Tiffany Miller already went home sick. Please continue to pray for safety and health for our team.
All the projects are going well. Teams have been working on our construction project, which is finishing an apartment and tutoring center that World Impact is hoping to open soon. We've also had teams at the food bank, homeless shelter, going through donations at the thrift store, doing service projects in neighborhoods and helping the missionaries with projects. There's a lot going on!
Thanks for all your prayers. Please continue. We need them!
