It feels as if every inch of our church building is filled with humanity. It feels as if every inch of our strength is being called upon to love and serve these kids the best way possible this week. Broken and spilled out...I think I said that a few posts back. We are so tired we can't think straight at night (sorry, 'cause nighttime is the ONLY time I have to blog!) I would love to be more eloquent, but for now I'll leave you with some names, numbers, and pictures.
J-quan, Dave, Savannah, Maquanda, Stephen, St. Clair, Jermaine, Samuel, Keni, Kennae, Alisha, Ephraim, Paris, William...just a few of the many beautiful children I get to love on this week...pray for them...pray for salvation...for their parents too...
85 children! We prayed for 60 and God gave us 85!
6 hours a day...long days...kids come early and leave late....
24 hours...24 hours from now the camp will be over, the concert will be over, and we will have shared the gospel with 85 kids and all the moms, dads, aunties, uncles, grandmothers, cousins, and neighbors who came to see them perform.
Wow - this brought tears to my eyes, as your post captures what we (those who were privileged to be part this missions team) experienced each day. Here it is now the Tuesday after the Friday concert - and I find that I have a hard time believing it is over. What an experience. I will continue to pray for fruit that remains at Kingdom Life, and in the lives of its members. Thank you, Kristin and Keith, for all your hard work. We now have lifetime memories to cherish.
