Wrapping up! That's what the last few hours have consisted of.
We had another wonderful day at Urban Soul. Teams went out on their projects again this afternoon and continued building relationships with their diverse team-mates and interacting with many Irish folks on their particular assigments. Scott was the group leader for several of our girls and reported that they were absolutely tremendous workers; building relationships and sharing their testimonies with the teens they were working with and keeping great attitudes dispite being very tired. This evening, several of their team-mates accepted Christ at the evening session! I have no doubt that God was using their relationships with them afternoon to prepare the soil of their hearts for God's moving tonight.
Also, the girls took a possibly difficult housing situation and used it as an opportunity to stretch themselves and share the gospel with the teens God put in their path.
Tonight, as most are going to bed, there is a pizza party in one of the rooms on the hall for one of our students who made such an impact on his Irish roommates, that they wanted to throw him a goodbye party before he leaves in the morning.
I am SO proud of this team and of these students. They have had an incredibly stretching 10 days and have been EXCELLENT representatives of CHRIST, America, Grace Church, Grace Student Ministries, and their families back home.
THANK YOU for your prayers on our behalf. Please be in prayer for our travels tomorrow - as it will be a long day of travel. Also, please pray for health - several of our students are starting to feel the physical wear and tear of the pace we have been keeping and will need a few days of rest.
There are many stories to share of how we have seen God work - and I am confident that this has been a piece of a much grander process for each of us. Please continue to pray for us as we process all of this as well!
Tired, but SO refreshed,
DK
