Week Three of Mission Possible

As I sit and type this blog for week three I am excited to share with you some of the twist and turns and aches and breaks that we experiences throughout this week.  It was challenging in many ways but also very rewarding in many ways.  So here we go...

As we started this week it was great to be able to celebrate our nation's independence by expressing  to others the freedom they can have from sin while we were in our nation's capital during an event called "Freedom Fest".  I have attended this event almost every year for the past 6 years and it has always been a great event to be participate in.  This year I was asked to share a message from the sketchboard in front of the main stage which was great.  Although, the attendance to the event was down due to the weather, many still heard the gospel being proclaimed as they walked by our tent.

Max doing the "Three ropes gospel illusion" on Day 1 of the kids club in Baltimore.

Mike Maslin to the rescue.  Our van broke down on the way back from Perkins Homes on Tuesday and Mike drove another van out to pick us up from the side of the road on Rte 95.  Praise God for cell phones and  for keeping us safe while waiting!

Garrett teaching the children a the memory verse while playing "hangman".

Sarah sharing the message of Day 2 of our club.  She did a great job!

Jonathan and Christian teaching some of the boys how to play frisbee. By the end of the week the boys really enjoyed playing frisbee. This was a great way to build relations with the kids.

We ate our lunch at Federal Hill Park and then did our daily group devotionals outside under a tree.  The weather this week was great for outdoor ministry.

Cameron did a great job with the message on Day 3 teaching the kids about how "Death came to All."

Jonathan preaching during lunchtime at Lexington Market and this older gentleman stopped to listen to the message.

Kathryn did a great job with her message to conclude the club on Friday.

We had flavored ice on last day and the kids love it as a treat to cool down.

It was great to see how the teens bonded with these children after just 4 days.  Katie showing the love of Christ to these two girls.

This is  a precious picture of reaching out with loving hands.

Thank you for your continued prayers as wee will be going out of town for the next three weeks.
Next week we will be in New York, then Pennsylvania and then our last  week we will be in Ocean City.  Until our next blog have a blessed week.
