wonderful night

I want to start with a story from last night. At dinner, Samantha about had a fit when the waitress said "eh". It was priceless.  Ok so today.  Some of us worked at the Overbrook food bank while some of us worked on projects at church.  A lot of work got done. Kelsey and crew are doing great work on the first mural in the nursery. The church ladies are so happy with it. This afternoon some went around handing out flowers to neighbors of the church. Lots of great connections made with people. Tonights worship service was one that if you weren't there you should be sad. Amazing music, beautiful prayers, moving testimonies by jordan h and erin and an extremely impactful drama starring ms. Samantha.  Tonight we are relaxing and having fun. Tomorrow is more work, a brief service, and showing the movie soul surfer. Pray that our energy levels will be constant even though we lack sleep.  Thanks for the comments so far. We are enjoying hearing from home. By the way, the service is recorded so you can watch it later. Love you guys and goodnight

internet!

Greetings blog followers.  We are out to eat in the Byward Market. Today was a mix of frustrating yet productive. It always takes a bit to get our legs under us as we begin to work. Flyers were passed out in the community and lots of work at church was done. We are about ready for tomorrow nights service. Jordan H was able to put her french to work as they walked around.  We reconnected with our friend Mehdi today. Lots of great things are beginning to happen.  Pray for us as we look forward to leading our first service tomorrow. Thanks to emily for updating yesterday via text. I will try to get a post up tomorrow night.  Love to those back home

Hi, from Emily! No, I didn't miss Brian so much that I hopped on a plane to Canada; I'm blogging from our house. Brian informed me by text message that they have no internet access currently and asked me to post for him. The team arrived safely in Ottawa and received a wonderful welcome, including a delicious spaghetti dinner. After all their hours of travel, they are already hard at work preparing for their projects and setting up sound equipment. Brian is hopeful that he will have internet access tomorrow. Please remember to pray for our whole team. In addition, please pray for the following individual team members tonight: Jessie Bridges, Will Winters, and Brandan Harden; tomorrow: Karen Diaz, Natalie Barger, Jon Schumann, and Kelsey Rochelle. Remember, you can post any messages you want shared with the group as comments. God bless you all!

Arrived in Harrisburg

Travel days are not that exciting so I won't take much time to post but we have arrived safely in Harrisburg, Pa. We will meet at breakfast at 7 and get back on the road by 730 (hopefully).  Our aim is to be at Eastview Baptist Church by 4.  This morning's service was great! Thanks to all those who are praying for us.  Tomorrow night will be the first group devotion so feel free to leave messages for the team.  We will read them when we are together.  Now for rest.  Tomorrow will be a big day!

All Packed and Ready

After 10 months of planning, our departure is finally tomorrow.  The team this year consists of 24 youth, 2 college students, and 6 adults for a grand total of 32.  Prayers have already been answered as Jenny got her passport delivered to her this morning at 9:30 a.m.  Tomorrow we will worship together and then pile into the vehicles to head to Harrisburg, PA to spend the night.  Each night during group time we will read comments that are left on this blog.  A prayer guide will be included in the bulletin tomorrow.  We hope that you can join us tomorrow for worship and send your prayers with us as our adventure begins.

Getting Ready for Canada

It has been quite a while since the last post on this blog.  Much mission work has happened that has not been written about but as we prepare to head to Canada in a few short weeks I just wanted you to be aware that I will be getting this blog back up and running.  We have 24 youth and 7 adults that will be leaving for Canada on June 24.  Really looking forward to it!  Share this page with your friends so that they can see what we are doing while we are gone.  I will update a couple times before we go so that you can know what's coming up.

a little behind.

Traffic has been bad and this lunch stop has taken a long time. We will probably be a little after 5 at this point. See you when we can
