What we saw tonight was truly an awesome sight!
Our team arrived like usual, but due to the rainy weather, we made the decision to not bring any clothing.... however, the rain was held back for the time, so in all honesty I suppose we could have brought some, but then it may have gotten ruined in transport when our team dispersed for the evening... so it was probably wisest to not bring it after all.
The message tonight was about being Obedient to GOD out of our love for Him. By the response of our neighbors, the message was well received. One man shared how refreshing it was to hear something other than the 'turn or burn' that other churches preach.
Our team was pleasantly surprised when a friend from another church showed up with 15 or 20 youth visiting from Kansas City. They asked how they could help, so I spoke the first thing that came to my mind when I thought of what we lack: Evangelism.
Our attendance was smaller than normal, probably due to the expected storm, so there was only about 75 guests, but they chose to stick around and eat dinner on the grassy areas. It was the perfect setting for the youth group to fellowship with our neighbors.
