Day One, Pearl River, MS
The last of the teams arrived today and we got started around 4:30 with some quick, exciting meetings…OK, maybe not exciting – the worship that Carla led was great, though.
We’ve got two groups with us here: a youth group from Venice, FL (nineteen people) and a group of five adults from Austin, TX. They are both great groups and have already shown that they will respond well during the week. Please pray that God will stretch them and mold their hearts while they are here.
Tomorrow, we will split up into four different teams and visit five different churches: Green Hill UMC (where we are staying), John Memorial UMC, Great Spirit UMC, Nanih Wayah Mennonite, and Bogue Chitto Baptist. Each group will spend the bulk of the day with their church and then come back to base. Then we will go to a hymn sing at Hope Baptist church, have dinner, then go back to Bogue Chitto BC where we will pass out flyers for Bible Camp the next day.
Please pray for us as you remember us throughout the day and the next week.
Tonight, we went to the Choctaw fair and watched the Stickball world championship. Have a look a the video; those guys make football players look like wimps.
