Thoughts and Events from the TEAM ON THE ROAD:

Eagle Christian Ministries: York, PA (January 26th-27th)

Eagle Christian Ministries was an awesome place! We loved being there! On Saturday night, we were able to minister to the youth of the church and also a visiting youth group. We had a great time hanging out with the kids and loved playing "Swat"!  We then had a great time of ministry and felt the presence of the Lord as Tim shared his testimony and made a call to the youth to get their lives back on track with the Lord.

Sunday morning, we were able to minister to the church after their worship service. Their heart for the Lord in their worship was so evident... you could sense their happiness in worshiping their Savior.  We ministered through a couple songs, two skits, and then Jon was able to share a quick testimony at the end as well before opening up the altars for prayer.  We had a great time hanging out with the people there, and had great hosts who put us up for a night as well. We were blessed to be a part of this ministry!

Watts Twp. Wesleyan Church: Duncannon, PA (January 18th-20th)

And....  we're back!  After a seven week recess, the team returned to Elim January 13th to spend a week refining our material and participating in the schools annual week of prayer.  It was a great time of refreshing and refocusing ourselves on the Lord and His will for the remainder of our tour.

During our time at Watts. Twp we spent Saturday painting the church foyer, then enjoyed a morning of worship with the congregation, assiting them by teaching their morning Sunday school classes, and leading the morning service.  The people were very welcoming and embraced us warmly, appreciating the service that we did, both in the physical and the spiritual.  The Lord met with us in a powerful way, and the word shared during the service conveyed His desire to do a "new thing" in the hearts and lives of the people as individuals, as well as a congregation. 

Bath Baptist: Bath, NY (November 16th-18th) 

Our stop in Bath NY was the perfect topping to six and and a half months of ministry.  Wedensday night service was very family friendly, as well as scrumptious, as there was cookies and cake afterwards.  The people in Bath greeted us with smiles and warm hearts, which was good because we had our first laying snow while we were there.

When winter blows in, it is always welcoming to know that there are people with warm hearts out there, just waiting for you to knock on their door.

Life Christian Church: Waterford, MI (November 6th-11th)

We had an awesome time in Michigan at Life Christian Church.  We did a variety of ministries, starting off with helping the church clean out a couple of their classrooms and labeling flyers. It was neat to be able to bless the church through practical service. We were happy to take part in it with them.

After we finished this, we went door to door handing out flyers advertising the new arrival of the church and inviting people to it. We handed out around a thousand flyers and are looking forward to hearing about the fruit that comes forth through that outreach.  It was chilly but pretty fun to do and we definitely got our exercise!

We did four services while we were there. One Wednesday night service, a Friday night overnight lock-in (where indoor capture-the-flag was a hit!), and a Sunday morning service.  We also ministered at their Sunday night youth group. All the services went very well and we had an amazing time ministering throughout the week we were there. God moved in and through us during our time in Michigan and we thoroughly enjoyed it. 

Espanola Community Outreach: Espanola, Canada (October 31st-November 4th)

Our first trip out of the states was to Espanola, Canada.  The change of environment brought a heightened sense of excitement to the ministry.  We kept busy working at a soup kitchen, leading a worship lab, putting together a youth rally, and doing a Sunday service for the community church.  The warmth and love of the people made an impression on our hearts.  It was awesome to see the hunger for God and the love for the people that the leadership had.
