Day 3 Recap

Just an awesome day here at Challenge!

Today we found out that in order to package the 250,000 meals for the Congo & Haiti we needed to have received $43,000 in the offering last night. Well we didn't get $43,000 but $45,000! A group helped package these meals this afternoon and were able to write notes on the meals!

Also this afternoon we had a team of students and adults go to the Dream Center to help fill water balloons for a huge water balloon war on Thursday afternoon - 25,000 water balloons. But they were not ready to fill balloons yet so instead we had a chance to play with the neighborhood kids and invite them to the event on Thursday. These kids are from many different ethnic backgrounds. We met one 3 year old girl named Mary who is being raised by her 16 year old sister.

Then tonight made the day even more awesome if there is such a word. Becky Tirabassi challenged us in making our commitment to God stronger by committing the next 30 days to praying and reading God's Word consistently and living a pure lifestyle. Following the rally we had some students who wanted to spend some time as a group to pray for one another as well as for others in our group by name.

Just a great night here in Salt Lake City @ Challenge!
