Wow - what a busy but wonderful day! We arrived in Charleston, WV and hit the ground running immediately. After a quick unloading of vehicles, we walked to the new school just down the road to pick up the after school children with Pastor Norman. What a great afternoon we had sharing the love of Jesus with them. It was awesome to see some of the children run up and give hugs, remembering our youth from last year's trip.
We have also made new friends already. The smiles of the children are such a blessing to us that we often feel as if instead of sharing a blessing....we are receiving one.
The afternoon was spent doing homework, playing games, having reading time and eating dinner with the children.
We are excited about our busy day tomorrow. We will be spending our time tomorrow with middle school age students, many of which we know from last year. We are praying for a large group and for the love of Jesus to come from us!
Please continue to pray!
Front Street Baptist Church Junior High Youth are leaving on Monday, August 1, 2011 through Saturday August 6, 2011 to go to Charleston, WV on a mission trip. This is a favorite place of ours. We are so excited to be working with the after school program of West Charleston Baptist Church and also spending time with some great friends we met on last year's trip. Please pray as we love on the children in Charleston and make new friends and reconnect with old ones!!!! We hope that when the people of Charleston, WV see us, they see Christ!
