Tampa Mission Trip - Day 3 on Projects

Everyone is a little tired today. Last day of work tomorrow... Continue to pray as our VBS teams will be presenting the ABC's of becoming a christian tomorrow and for the construction team because the temperature here is HOT HOT HOT!!!

Tampa Mision Trip - Day 2 on projects

Everyone had a great day!! We worked on VBS, cleaning gutters, painting and yard work. There are many jobs here and many opportunities to give God the glory for allowing us the opportunities to serve Him and further the Kingdom through service. It is trips like these that make us so thankful that we are from a mission minded church that teaches and encourages us to go out and share with others. We are a blessed team!! Thank you for your continued prayers!

Tampa Mission Trip - First day at work sites

Today was a good day!! The word from each of the three sites we are serving at "HOT"!!! We have two teams on VBS and afternoon street evangelism and one team at a site that is doing construction and street evangelism. We are all doing well, pray for God to give us strength and endurance as the temperature here remains high again tomorrow. Thank you all for your prayers!!
Oh, and when we get back we want to talk to Mrs. Judi about why our VBS doesn't have an inside moonwalk for recreation time :-))

Thanks so much for all your prayers and comments! We made it back to the church at 12:45 this afternoon. We had a wonderful trip and were able to serve the camp in many ways. Thank you Father for giving us a great trip and for keeping us safe!

Texas Day 9

Well we drove 755 miles today and ended up in Alabama, about 70 miles south of Montgomery. Thank you Lord for safe travel. Everyone is in their rooms and I am sure some are already asleep. Just a reminder parents we do plan to be at the church by 1:00p.m. tomorrow so be sure and be there to pick up your student. If we will be later than 15 minutes we will have your student call you but we are leaving enough time to be there by 1:00 if not before.

Texas Day 8

Well today was our last work day here in Texas. We were able to finish up the projects we started and start a few new one's that the camp staff will finish up. Overall we were able to get a lot done around the camp and the staff was really thankful and gracious. We plan to head back towards GA tomorrow at 7:00a.m. (8:00a.m. GA time). Thank you for all the prayers and comments as I have been able to share them throughout the week.

Texas Day 6

Well today was a "free day." Some were able to sleep in a little late and then we headed to the zip line. That was a lot of fun. Everyone has a lot of good pictures and vidoe from that. We then ate lunch and had a mini birthday party for Landon before heading back out. We then rode on the kayak's and let's just say some people got wet. Then before heading to clean up for dinner, we played a little paintball!!!! After cleaning up for dinner we went to a place called tha Oasis. It was the biggest restaurant we have ever seen and it overlooked Lake Travis. The view was amazing as the sun set. Now off to bed before our last day of work tomorrow.

Texas Day 5

Well we had another good day. We built another bridge at the low ropes course, others spread some rock and mulch on the trails and others did some more painting. We were really busy today so I didn't get to take as many pictures as normal. Tomorrow is the Zip Line day and play day! Thanks for all the prayers and comments, things are going well.
