The team woke up at 5 am on Friday to head to the beach for morning devotions and the sunrise. They sang some worship songs then spent time alone with God; some wrote prayers to Him in the sand. They came home for a few minutes then headed to the park to play kickball and evangelize - “playvangelize” as Mr. Dane called it. The team started a game and invited kids at the park to play with them.
They headed home and had some lunch then that afternoon they all set up for the big cookout that night. At about 6 pm, families of the children at VBS began to arrive at the church. The bouncy house was set up there was games for the kids. We had hamburgers, hotdogs, and all the fixins. After everyone was finished eating, we began water baptisms. Seven or eight children got baptized as well two team members. Some of the youth had the privilege of baptizing a child. The event was incredible. The night’s conclusion was accompanied by a night time water fight between the youth.
Saturday the group spent the morning cleaning the church and the parsonage. They ate lunch and headed to the beach for a few hours. Some kids went swimming, some walked on the pier and some went to a beach shop. The group departed at 3 pm and headed back to the church.
All in all, it was a tremendously successful trip. Over twenty people were saved, about ten baptized, and many lives were changed and impacted for the glory of God!
Pictures from the whole trip are soon to come.
