Family Mission Trip 2009

Tuesday, July 21:
God has blessed us immensely this trip. The building is coming along incredibly. It hardly looks like the same place, and this is only the second day. The progress will be such a blessing for the church. Pray for cool weather and everyone's continued safety.
The ESL workshop program almost quadrupled in size. Monday they had 3 people that they were teaching how to teach an ESL class, and today they had 11 people. Dick and Barbara Borth had only planned on 6 at the most, but we very excited that there was a need to make more copies of the materials. The actual ESL class will more than likely have a bigger class tomorrow as time constraints for the participants will not be as huge.
VBS began today. When our workers got there (early) most of the children were already there waiting for us. So VBS started a little early. We had 25 children attend, and it was exciting to see personalitlies bloom as the day wore on. Everyone is excited to continue ministering to these kids and are praying for more kids to be able to attend.
The Block Party that we will have tomorrow night at a Park is starting to come together. 300+ Fliers were passed out in the neighborhood surrounding the park, so we're hoping that many will attend this evangelistic party and hear of God's amazing love for them.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers as well as the people we will be ministering to. Thank you very much for partnering with us in this exciting journey!
