Update from the Arlington Team

I have gotten a few little updates from our team while they are busy working away!
  • First off, please be praying for them to get cool breezes and lots of shade- it is very hot there.
  • Yesterday the group got to be a part of the "house churches" of Mission Arlington. The Mission is to take church to the people who will never come to a church building. Maybe they are intimidated or feel out of place or just cant get there. Anyhow, it was a trying time for some of the team bc of a lack of organization, but McKenna and Haley got to lead the "sunday school" kids portion for theirs and loved it! 
  • The team also went and passed out fliers yesterday about the backyard bible club they will be leading this week, called Rainbow Express.
  • Today they have met up with all the volunteers down there for morning worship, and then were split into groups for work projects. Two groups took trucks out to pick up donations, and one group went and delivered food at one of the complexes. Each day these work projects will vary a lot and just be meeting real needs in this community. 
  • This afternoon they will begin Rainbow Express! They will go to the same apartment complex each afternoon and minister to the kids and any parents hanging about. Please pray for them to develop relationships quickly and easily. Pray for boldness as they share the gospel with these people and pray for these people to respond! 
We will keep you posted when we hear how it all goes!
