Band of Survivors Team Update 19

Hey there guys! This is Manny. B, well today Friday the 13th we started of our day with some great blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes, they were so delicious. Than we had cell groups, that went pretty good. After cell groups a group of teens decided to go out and outreach to the community, taking along with them pocket bibles and waters to give out. I was not part of that group I had to stay back and rehearse a dance. I had the desire to go along, but too bad I couldn’t.

Right after the teens came back we were in a rush to head out to Evanston Corps, because the worship band had to practice. Once the Prayer & Praise night started I felt the strong presence of the Holy Spirit. It was such an awesome feeling, I never felt that way ever in my life. During the service Pilar Dunning spoke about Sex Trafficking, and how would we be able to contribute or be more helpful to the program. That was a pretty good Justice Minute, it really opened my heart and I had the desire to be part or to be helpful to that program.

Then Kirsten Witthoff gave the message, talking about “How we need to help out and outreach to the needy and the people who are found to be lost in God’s word”. And one way to be helpful to those people is to seek for righteousness. She also said that it would be the best to outreach with love and with a group of Christians so we would be able to lift each other up and motivate each other so that it can be done the right way.

After Kirsten’s message we had a time of fellowship with the teens that attended the Prayer & Praise night, it went really well. I had such a good day filled with love and grace! Make sure to attend the next Prayer & Praise night September 21st at the Tri-City Corps. I hope to see you guys there!

You’re Friend, Manny Barba
