Band of Survivors Team Update 11

Well deserved rest consumed a majority of our morning. Our first activity was cell groups at 10:30, in which we studied Acts 11. And since the interns finished making coffee, Justin was able to join my group. I hope some of you have been reading the devotionals; there is much to be learned from them.

After lunch we headed for our first day at the Midwest Corps. The girl’s cell group did a great job planning the VBS (Vacation Bible School). The children made paper prayer boxes for crafts and performed a play that told the story of Joseph. VBS then ended with a couple of games. We were not sure of what the outcome of children was going to be. Major told that even if only one shows up, then that one will be over consumed with our love. To our amazement, over 20 showed up! What a blessing from God!

After the VBS, the Majors made us a feast with meatballs, chicken, macaroni, and MOUNTAIN DEEEWWWWWW! The majors shared various stories and encounters over their years of Officership. Once at CFOT, much planning was done for the days to come. Our busy day ended with a party for Dietrich’s Birthday. We all sang Happy Birthday as loud as we could. And with a room filled with more than 23 people, you can imagine how loud it got.

I believe that is about it. Keep us in your prayers.

Blessings,
