Arkansas Mission Campaign – Day 3

Day 3 of the campaign was another busy day.  In the morning, most of the team worked on the mission village, relaying the foundation of concrete on the house representing Honduras and putting up fences around the other homes.  A few members of the team went into Hot Springs to help with a tennis camp.  The weather was great and we are really enjoying working as a team.  After lunch in the dining hall at the camp with over 100 excited campers, we headed into town to FBC Hot Springs. While the worship team prepared for the evening service, our groups divided into 3 groups and canvassed neighborhoods around the church, knocking on doors and handing out flyers for a block party/ festival on Saturday morning at the church.  Then, we had dinner at the church and got to fellowship w/ many of their church members, before we had the privilege of leading their Wednesday night service.  Our worship team led the congregation in music, several members of our team shared testimonies of how God has used the ministry of FOG to impact their lives, and Pastor Micheal challenged their church by encouraging them to prioritize church planting as a major strategy in their already very effective missions program.  After the service, we had another great time of debriefing the day, discussing some Scripture, and praying for one another.  Then, of course, most of the team went off for another late evening swim

            Some things you can be praying for specifically:

1)      For good response from the community around the church to the flyers about the block party on Saturday morning. Pray for many unchurched people to come and build relationships with us and people from the church, and for opportunities to share the Gospel with them

2)      For the girls attending the tennis camp in downtown Hot Springs.  Pray that those of our team serving down there would be able to minister to those girls and that as the girls hear the Gospel throughout the rest of this week, that many of them would respond.

3)      For our team.  Pray that our team continues to grow closer to one another and that the Holy Spirit would continue to soften our hearts and that we would all be molded more and more into the image of Christ
