We had an awesome evening last night. They had a Hawaiian theme for dinner so all the staff dressed up Hawaiian and we ate fried fish and of course rice. I don't think I've heard one complaint yet from the kids. I've heard how much they love it here. After dinner we had a session that Delynn talked about pride. After the talk they did a live reenactment of Jesus being taken to a cross and crucified. So they had the kids follow this drama outside and down a path to a cross. It was very moving. They kids were touched and shared this morning, again in front of everyone, how impacting it was. I've never seen some of the kids really crying out to God like I did last night. It was really awesome!! Today Delynn talked about loving others and a few of the kids are going to share their testimonies. Each of them have written them out and were taught how to share them. I would encourage you, when the kids get back, to ask them about their testimony. I'm sure they would put up a fight but it's good to hear what God has done and is doing. Today also holds more drama practice and kids ministry practice. We will be leaving tomorrow morning early. I will try to write one more time before we go but after that the next time we communicate will be at the church @ 8pm. I will call the phone chain if there are any changes. Please continue to pray for unity, good attitudes (cause its going to get hot & humid), and for the kids to continue to be open to what God has for each one.
Thanks!!
Scott
