An Awesome Week…

We have had an awesome week here in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, and I will be sad to leave.

Although the afternoon activities with the local youths was quite productive, the mornings were a complete bust. So switched tactics, and started witnessing door to door in the mornings, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The youth group are extremely into it.

Today, the youth group that we joined here, from our home church, decided that instead of going to play at the water park on the last day, they would spend the whole day going door to door telling people about Christ, instead. Needless to say, we were all very proud of them, though at first I must admit I was quite upset. I had been telling my 5 year old little girl that I was taking her to the Water park Friday, and when she asked the youth director about it this morning, I nearly cried…I m such a baby. Oh well.

So I and my wife decided to opt out this morning, and take our two little ones at least somewhere comparable to the water park. We ended up spending half the day playing at a local park, and observing Nature at the “Mike Huckabee” nature preserve. The kids had a lot of fun.

After lunch, we rejoined the youth group going door to door. It was an very powerful experience, not only witnessing, but seeing the youth dive in. We had several people show visible signs of contrition/repentance, and it was VERY encouraging.

Till the next one….
