As I said in my previous blog, we took some kids to Sandcastle this past weekend. (a water park here in Pitt) I will say this, to all you Texas peeps out there Sandcastle has nothing on Splashtown!!! We had a blast though! It was so good to just chill and have fun with the kids instead of disciplining and such. We have a busy week coming up, so I wanted to make sure I got at least one blog in. We of course have camp throughout the week, but we also have a lot of preparation for our upcoming camping trip this weekend, along with our Mission Trip to Florida next weekend. The funeral for our staff member's cousin is on Thursday, so we will be attending that as well.
With all that being said I just want to throw a BIG PRAISE up for something that happened last week. For those of you who know Drea, she started building a relationship with one of the kids here a couple years back. Last Friday while on a field trip this particular girl was acting out of the ordinary behavior wise. To make a long story short, Andrea had to sit with her in timeout during a field trip. Timeouts can go really good or really bad; this is a prime opportunity to get to know kids on a one on one basis and really pour into them. Through Caliente starting off the conversation with, "my uncle is with God," Drea was able to share the gospel with this child. A relationship between Caliente and our Savior was made. As I stated last blog, there is so much bondage, sin, oppression, and addiction in this city; but make no mistake about it Jesus Christ has claimed victory over Aliquippa! He will continue to reach down His hand and restore individuals one by one. Without a doubt, Jesus is hearing the cries of His children for the redemption of His people. Praise Him.
That is all for now. More later. Love deeply.
