Eastmore

Last night we were again invited to another school, this time it was at an all girls high school.  We did what has been our normal program, drama, preaching, testamonies, songs. This time however none of walked out of those doors wondering "did anyone hear us? Did God use us in any way?, etc". We know that God was moving in that room because after the program was over the girls rushed the team, begging to hear more testamonies from those on the team who hadn't spoken, they were exclaiming how wonderful and meaningful they thought the drama was to them. This alone would have been refreshing for the team but God carried it one step further. The girls asked awesome questions because they too wanted a deeper relationship with Jesus. Another praise is that  two of the girls who were in the audience sought out one of our girls on the team and confessed that they wanted to know Jesus too. They were right then in prayer in which they prayed that they would know the LOVE of God because they believed that Jesus died on the cross.

It was a powerful night for everyone. So powerful in fact they have invited the team back on sunday to hold a service for the whole school because last night we only had a portion of the students and they want us to speak to everyone in the school.

Thank you for your prayers already but we ask now that you be in prayer for sunday that we again be able to reach the students and build them up. Also we ask you to pray for those who want to know Jesus that they would continue with this hunger even long after we are gone. Thank you all!!

Bye!


This is another post that is taken from the trip blog

Singing in the Rain

This was a blog that was written and posted on my team blog site about our trip, but I thought I would share in on here as well....


The team was invited to hold a service at one of the local public schools in Eburru.  The plan was that we would sing a few songs, someone would preach, a few others would share some testimonies and the team would share a drama.

Before the team headed out, Scott prayed that all expectations would be destroyed.  It's a good thing our hearts were prepared because things did not go as planned.  We were originally were supposed to have 90 minutes, but we were quickly informed that plans had changed and we only had 40 minutes.  Almost right after arriving, the rain clouds started rolling in and down came the rain.

Instead of worrying, the team just went with it.  They cut short the signing, went straight to the drama in order to read the kids for the message which was to be delivered by Matt.  The kids were just mesmerized.  It didn't matter that we were all being soaked, they could not get enough of what He was doing.  After the preaching we decided that it would be best to send the kids home since it was still pouring out and everyone was getting thoroughly soaked.  The team intended to just sing as they were leaving, but instead they began to sing their hearts out to the Lord.  It was as if each person on the team was all alone with only the Lord in front of them.  It was one of the most powerful moments of the trip so far.


This is the song the team was singing in the rain...
