Family and friends,
It's day 2 here at GoAustin. Today we got up and headed to do work projects. We did many different tasks from picking up trash to paint projects. We had 146 total participants in backyard bible clubs today and six kids accepted Christ (praise the Lord). The afternoon was spent going to parks and playing with the children we came in contact with. Every group had a good turn out of kids which helped with our spirits considering it was a hot hot afternoon.
Tonight we had a worshipful evening led by the Response band and Kirsten Anderson. Kirsten read us the story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17 and talked about how David was a man focused on God. She reminded us that God prepared David through being a shepherd for the moment he would take down the giant just as God is preparing us for what He has for us in the future. We ended the evening with a lesson in line dancing taught by Dorothy Cielonko. This put a fresh pep in everyone's step and everyone was dancing the night away (or atleast attempting to :) ).
Please continue to pray for us as the week continues and we begin to get tired and sleep deprived. Specific prayer requests are that God would bring more kids to each club, He would help our kids remember, "it's not about us," and in the places where we can't share the gospel the children would recognize there's something different about us and there is something more to the value stories we are teaching them. Another request is that there were some sports centers where we could not get in today but hope to be able to get in tomorrow.
As we go out tomorrow our prayer is that the gospel would be shared in the city for the city.
Thanks for your prayers and support,
Britney
