our day to day ...

from the minds of Chantelle Floris, Carissa Berger, & Courtney Styba:

Today we had a full action packed day. The morning was a typical morning, which included an early breakfast, teaching session, and preparing for the day. To change things up a bit, we did some skits and original raps (stay tuned for videos!) in order to learn about true discipleship.

After the skits we broke into two groups, one group went to the basement of our church and helped organize food into bags and handed t all out to homeless and needy.

Meanwhile, the rest of team began landscaping a garden, that a team before us started here on the church property. This consisted of many wheelbarrows of dirt and a whole lot of team effort. Much sweat was shed, and dirt was spread. This continued for hours.

When all food distribution was complete, three youth took it on themselves to fill their time up with evangelism, they found two leaders, bought flowers, water, granola bars, and fruit snacks and went out to bless people - anyone they came into contact with - while praying for their needs, and also sharing the story of Christianity. It was truly a spectacular, live changing experience for all involved.

Once all groups regathered, and ate dinner, we left for the VBS ministry, where relationships with the kids continued to grow and flourish.

Back at the church we shared our high and low moments of the day - with many entertaining and heart felt stories.

Each day keeps getting better and better!
