VBS at Winbourne was a huge success and made the devil really mad. WE had over 200 kids that were pumped and excited to be in the house of the Lord. It just does not get any better than this. "Hulkamania" Paul and myself had the priviledge of being on the school bus with over 70 kids each day and would not have wanted to be anywhere else. WE worshiped, listed to bible stories, had dance contest, played games outside, made crafts and of course ate some awesome food prepared by our Cooking for Christ team. Kudos to all the volunteers that did a slammin job. Check out our very own "former HPC er Stacy Smith" doing a little break dancing and bringing the house down.
Wednesday breakfast outreach at Winbourne and Airline was amazing. We have some prayer request from that:
Pray for Denise and her two children to find affordable housing
Pray for Angela's car to get fixed
Pray for Ms. Betty as she starts chemo next week
Pray for the mens home and the possiblility of picking them up for church
Then on Thursday, we had a team in from Florida (mainly middle schoolers) that really rocked. They went roaming with us in the downtown area after our breakfast outreach. We also had a little fun with them. Check out more photos at www.noplaceoutreach.org. We also need to lift up Tameka, a young girl on the streets that really wants to get clean and do life differently.
Then on Friday at Thrive, we even had some parents attend for the first time as a result of their children being at VBS. We are defintely taking ground in the 70805 zip code.
Super Sunday Service......I had the opportunity to teach three to five year olds about Esther and how she was called for a time such as this. As I was preparing, I begin to think how I personally felt like Esther and being called for a time such as this. What a priviledge to be serving the people of inner city Baton Rouge. I am truly blessed.
