Our God is an AWESOME God!

Good afternoon everyone! What a day the team has had today! As they drove up to the school in the village, 670 kids were standing outside all lined up. The kids were chanting and singing praise to God for the team. Apparently, the team was overwhelmed with God’s loving-kindness and the generosity of the school…there was not a dry eye in the group.

Over the next several days, each team member was given an assignment by Phoebe (keep in mind that she has only known them for 2 days and we didn’t send her any information about these people prior to the trip). So, here’s the assignments:

Brittney and Michael – leading a school wide devotion each day (these are our two quietest team members and they are going to lead over 700 people in time with God every day)!!!

Autumn – teaching Kindergarten

Holly – leading a music seminar and helping lead worship at the church

Adam – leading a seminar about working in the business world (this made him laugh but God will use him to show others what that means on a daily basis)!

Lacey – will be teaching the entire preschool (she is SO excited)

Matthew – teaching the teachers of older kids

Kelly – working directly with the school staff and helping with computers/websites

Drew – working with the physician at the clinic (right next to the school)

In addition, Matthew and Adam will be leading a soccer clinic (along with other members of the team). The older kids at the school have challenged the team and staff members to a soccer match. The team is prepared to lose by a large margin! God is also allowing the team to make home visits to the homes of the kids who are boarded at the school, lead revival services and numerous other ministry opportunities. They are simply overwhelmed at the ministry already and how God has orchestrated all of this for His glory!
