Yesterday, our group worked with the church and their Youth Director - Matt to get ready for their basketball and cook-out event. It turns out that Matt actually grew up in Genesco, IL and attended Wildwood Baptist Church...what a small world!
Our day began with walking the neighborhood surrounding the church and handing out flyers for the event in the evening. Then after some down time in the afternoon, we set up the parking lot with tables and chairs and prepared the food for the event. In the afternoon we had a few chances to help people from the church out by painting a wall in the youth room, moving some suitcases for an elderly woman in the neighborhood, and providing child care during a women's meeting before our cook out.
Today and for the next few days we need your prayers as we work woth the Sports Camps and VBS that God would direct us to the kids He wants at these events. Pray also for relationships to be built with these kids and that they would come back each day and even bring some of their friends.
Here are a few more pictures from our trip...

Thanks for setting this up, Pastor Scott!! It is great fun to check in each morning and see what is new!! We are praying for each of you! Hi Aaron...I forwarded the BLOG to all your supporters. Talk to you soon.
It's wonderful to be able to follow the team on the trip. We're praying for you all. Hi, Lisa. Hope you're all having a great time glorifying God.

Thanks for the update gang! We don't know what God is doing in our midst alot of the time. So....keep up the good work, depending on His strength, and He will be glorified and you will be blessed.
