Payne Ave E Free 7/19 Update

We've been experiencing technical difficulties with the internet the last few days and aren't able to post pictures tonight, but hopefully tomorrow we'll have some great things to show you!

The last two days have been great ones for the Payne Ave team (Northfield, Boone, and Hot Springs groups). We have bonded SO well as a team and have had growth, depth and encouragement in our conversations. Our students have gone above and beyond the requirements and have sought out ways they can serve not only the VBS kids, but also each other. We are so impressed.

Prayer walking yesterday and today, many students interacted with Atheist individuals, Muslim families, Christians excited for the programs, etc. The responses vary tremendously! But God has been faithful to bring those kids (and parents!) that He wants to come. While the children participate in the VBS, the parents are invited to stay for a Bible study, and many have!

We praise God today for the weather. It was much cooler outside for our game time and the kids were responding fabulously. We're thankful for Pastor Larry and the other church members who do so much to make sure we are prepared as we need to be. They've invested so much in us and we come away each day with renewed energy and spirits. We also praise God for the BUMP staff that have facilitated air conditioning for us to sleep with! THANK YOU!!


SO...that's all for now, but look forward to pictures tomorrow!
