Tuesday June 24~  This has been such an fantastic experience for ALL of our group... sincerely... Spiritual growth for every one of our kids and adults and each and every work site has been fantastic.  I cannot say enough about our great Youthworks staff-- helping us to grow in faith and love and learn so much about DEMOing Christ in all we say and do and how we serve.... REACHING OUT to our community around us to show Christ's love.   One group fought through challenges of a chain smoker in the hometo paint an entire kitchen while others in the group played with her grandchildren outside... Dolores has severe diabetes and can only play with them outside when the sun goes down.  A second group finished an entire deck in 2 days with a crew of 11. "Wicked" crew weeded and shingled for Roger- a wonderful character who has Parkinsons and played a tape of his singing to the kids in his truck - He prayed with our kids and asked them to wave up to God with them to close their prayer.  Our Kids club group  has been amazed at the influence this program has had on the community around them.  In the afternoon we wrote postcards to our prayer pals. In the evening we participated in a youth worship service led by a local Christian Band and the outgoing youth leader at the church hosting our group.  Our small group breakout went until midnight, with many of our youth having true "break through" moments.....  What a wonderful week we are having in ministry.  To His Glory!!!!
