Hey everyone we had a great week last week! A team from Holliday, TX came up to help us out for 10 days and man did they do a lot. The team arrived on Thursday, July 14 and got right to work helping out with Kids Rock. Two of the boys helped me with the preschoolers and they were such a blessing in keeping the kids entertained. They also helped act out the story of David and Goliath impromtu style and did an Awesome job.
On Saturday I was asked to go kayaking with the team. It was a rainy Saturday morning but it was still amazing and so serene paddling out into the ocean surrounded by the mountains. God is amazing and this was an experience that made me reflect on Him in so many ways. While we were out in the kayaks we were able to see some of the wildlife, such as a seal and a couple of bald eagles. God was so imaginative to make the animals all so different, I loved it so much!
Sunday was of course our regular COTR service and it was so good! Josh spoke out of Matthew and the Parable of the Wedding Banquet. He is going through a series entitled "The Kingdom of Heaven" and looking at what is kingdom of heaven is like. With this sermon he focused on being prepared and having the "wedding clothes" on because when it is time for the wedding banquet if you don't have on the clothes you will be cast out.
Monday - Thursday
Starting Monday the team was in charge of running a sports camp each night from 5-7:30. Each night we started by feeding the kids a snack type meal and then the team would do a skit that portrayed a story fromt he bible. They did such a good job acting out the stories and the kids loved it. After that they divided the kids up by age and they went to different stations. The stations the team had set up were basketball, soccer, street hockey, football, and bouncy castles. The kids had so much fun learning about the sports and just getting to hang out and play. We had anywhere from 25 to 40 kids each night. God blessed this ministry and it was a HUGE success.
Friday was such a lazy day and it was much needed after such a busy week. Friday night though we had youth out at the Severinski farm. That night the game of choice was volleyball. We always have so much fun laughing and spending time together!
It was a great week and the Lord blessed it so much! I give all the glory to my Father in Heaven for all the work that is being done here in Pitt Meadows and thank Him for allowing me to be apart. Thank you all for your prayers!
