Sorry everyone for not posting these updates on time. The last two days were by far the busiest and most taxing. However, the fruit coming from them was amazing! Wednesday started out at St. John’s serving, working and playing with kids much like the last two days.
However, Wednesday evening was a little different. St. John’s gave us no time limit to get out. We got to hang out with most of the women and children till almost 10:00. It was amazing. God truly allowed us to build relationships and bonds with these people. Our departure from St. Johns was somewhat of an emotional one. Watching their little ones and our kids shed tears over leaving was enough to make even me get a little choked up…
Having finished up at St. John’s, we were able to present a need to Pastor Bob Huddleston (CC Sac) to bring some of the women and children to church on Sunday mornings and possibly start a women’s bible study right there at the facility. Also, it was a true blessing to have Calvary Sac open their doors for us to go down and minister right out of the church..
On Thursday, we had the opportunity to minister to a small group of younger children at the Atkinson Group Homes. I can not even begin to express the need that is in this place. Most of the children here have been pretty much disregarded by their families and it was a little more difficult to establish a connection with these children due to the limited amount of time we had… This is a place to be praying about for future outreached for sure…
Just a little personal testimony, the day before we left, I came home from church with a temp of 101. Through much prayer and the hand of God, I woke up Monday morning will no symptoms of anything. It was not until late Thursday afternoon that I really started to feel sick. God is so good, He held off the flu for me for the majority of the outreach!
Thank You all for your support and prayers… It was definitely noticed..
