Day 2and 3

Sorry for not posting the last two days. It has been hard to find time to update.

Today we began our sports camp and we couldn't have been anymore excited. And neither could Kim, Kelsey, Matt and I after we saw how well our student leaders were doing. We had about 40 kids participate with us. And our students were prepared, ready, and focused. I can't put into words how great our team acted and how well they lead the 40 kids this morning. Since we had so many kids we couldn't teach them all together, but the students immediate took the initiative to split up into smaller groups and began to teach, connect, and minister to each kid that was in their small group. It really opened the door for our team to connect with more kids.

It was a blessing for Kim, Matt, Kelsey, and I to sit back and watch each student lead their section and group at the camp. There were some challenges, but the students quickly adjusted to those challenges and made it a fun morning for every child there.

Dan Hyuhn, the pastor of the Village Church, shared with us Sunday, yesterday, how most families don't see many high school aged students trying to give back and lead in their community (we are here to do more than that in the name of Christ). He was just saying that this sports camp and kids fest will be such an encouragement to all the families in this area and will give them such a fresh perspective on the church and Village Church. All that to be said, God is using us in a mighty way for his kingdom and the Village Church.

We are going into the inner harbor this evening for dinner and a little tourism, but we are all in for a few hours getting some rest. Please continue to pray for us. Specifically that we will be bold and flexible in whatever way God leads and uses us.

Blessings,
Bryan
