Yesterday we finished with our last sports day camp. Lots of performances with the kids and instead of goodbyes some kids and their families are coming tonight to our community block party! Our youth went prayer walking and we went to the teen club center and served food. The adult team built a tool shed for the teen center as well as needed maintenance and landscaping. Essential church is being recognized throughout the community for the things that we have accomplished through Love Bellevue and with God mighty things have happened. One kid actually asked "Are you guys really Christians?" What an opportunity to speak of the name of Jesus and truth into his life. Today we will be getting prepared for the evening activities. As I have listened and heard us celebrate Christ, the reality is people in our own country haven't heard of the his first. What a privilege it has been to come thinking you are going to serve yet we are being served. Thank you for your realm of prayers.
Our team wrapped up Friday with a block party...with lots of people in attendance. There is a wrap up video on Facebook that has been shared by Carey Dyer and Shelley DeBusk where you can see lots of pictures from the week!
Time to head home!
"but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect"
