Wow! Not sure where to begin! Here is the schedule for the week that way you have an idea what I'll be doing everyday =)
Monday-Day camp 8:30-3 and then food pantery from 3-8:30pm
What an amazing experience that was! There were so many families lined up outside as well as inside..the place was packed! And it will be like this every Monday night! I will hopefully be able to take pictures soon and I will definately be posting them from now on. It's hard to describe what the night was like but it was amazing!
Tuesday-Day camp until 3 and then youth group from 7-9.
Wow the kids at youth group are awesome! There were about 40 or so there and not all of them were there! I gave my testamony last night and I only pray that what I said influenced at least one kid. As long as I planted a seed that's all that matters to me. I made a connection with one 13 year old last night and out of respect for her I will not tell the situation but I know I will talking with her every week =) God is so good!
As far as the day camp goes, each week we have a different sport that we teach the kids how to do. This week is basketball. That's been a lot of fun. I've been helping out with the k-1st grade and the 4-5..They are so cute! Tomorrow we head to the nature center..please pray that it doesn't rain! It rained today and we were stuck inside with 50 kids...not fun lol
Today (Wednesday) has been good, tonight is church so when I get a chance either tomorrow or Friday I will update you on the rest of the week =)
The ladies at the Tabitha House are beautiful and some are still broken. It's overwhelming to try and explain every testamony I've heard so far. My roommate Liz is amazing! She's been through so much and I look up to her a lot. She graduated the program in March and everyday I wake up and thank God for her =)
I believe God sent me here to minister to 3 different groups: the day camp, the Tabitha House and Youth Group. It's only been 3 days and I can't imagine what I'm going to say about all this in 7 weeks!
I'm not here for myself or I wouldn't be here. If you want to get challened and changed, I DARE you to come to Harvey\South Holland, Illinois. Or go somewhere where you don't know a soul and let God use you. It's scary but if you let God lead you, He will and you'll be amazed at what will happen...even in 3 days =)
Thanks for reading!
