Busy Tuesday

Today was so busy! We were in many different places and split up serveral times, so unfortunately we weren't able to get pictures everywhere we went, but God definitely did some crazy things! 

First we met at the Stevens center for breakfast. Many of us slept better last night so we were energized and ready for French toast and coffee. 

After breakfast Matt, Angela, Bree, and Brittany left the group to go to the women's prison and minister there.
Several ladies received Jesus and the group was able to bless the ladies with food. 

While they were out we had a quick meeting to pray and ask the Lord to equip us for the day. Then we walked to Streha. It's about three miles away from the Stevens center, and it started to rain but we had fun anyways! 

On the way we stopped at what is known as the pyramid. Several climbed it while the rest of us watched under our umbrellas. 

Once we got to Toms, we split into different groups to go hand out fliers for the events we have coming up this week as well as invite people to a marketplace ministry dinner we were hosting that night. 

A group of us went to the highschool on the way. We played music once school got out. There were good opportunities to share Jesus. 

Another group went to some Roma- communities to play with the children and love on the people. 

They even got to play some duck duck goose.

 While they were with the kids the rest of us helped make the outside of  the church look better. We painted the steps and picked up the trash around the businesses and curbs. 

After this we had another time of worship and prayer to prepare ourselves for the tasks ahead. 

Half of us went to a center in the neighborhood to play music and minister to people as the Lord led us. 

Several children stopped to listen.

 Then more came. 

Soon there was a whole crowd. Then Matt shared the gospel with them and several accepted Christ! So awesome to see Matt minister to kids who are in the same age range that he ministers to back home. 

When we were sharing with the kids the other people in the group were talking to the older listeners, and those too shy to come closer. 

Both Zach and Christina were able to pray with different people who received Christ into their hearts. Praise the Lord!

It's so much fun to bring smiles to these people's faces, God is so good! 

The dinner back at the church went great and we were able to bless several business owners. Although tgere werent as many as expected God still did an awesome work.

While they did that several of us went up to the roof to worship and pray over the city.

After this we all ate dinner and headed back to the hotel to get some much needed rest. We're only on day three and look at all that God has already done. Continue to pray for us as we have another big day ahead of us tomorrow!
