We're headed back from our second day working at Greenwood Terrace and we are worn out, exhausted, drained, and so thankful for how the Lord is using us up to perpetuate the gospel. So far, our group of 37 has worked with around 40 kids, almost all of whom come from breaking or broken homes. It's so obvious from the way these kids respond to us that they are in desperate need of the love and simple acceptance that can only permanently come from being in God's family. We pray that the time we spend with these kids can help take part in the promises of Romans 5... That each of us could be adopted into the King's family, never to be fatherless or motherless again.
There are a couple of people in particular that I'd like to brag on. Analeigh Barnes has made a connection with several of the kids, but there is one in particular that seems to have latched on to her. Every day that we get ready to leave he gets tears in his eyes and asks her to stay just a little longer. The Lord is showing himself to this child and we need to pray for him. Other examples like this abound and I can say how proud I am of our students and leaders as they minister and bring about change in the lives of these children.
Back at camp, things are going exceptionally well too, as the Spirit continues to heal, convict, and move. Please pray that He will continue to move as He sees fit.
