Visitors

We had a group of visitors from North Carolina who were here for a weekend. Even though they were only here three days, they made a huge impact. The team spent time loving on the neighborhood kids, speaking with our Pastor, chatting with Linda and me and helping out at the soup kitchen. Brian and his wife Kristen are planning to come within the next year as a full time Youth Pastor at our church and the team that came with are checking the place out and will be helping him get sent on out here. We are super stoked to have them. It was a real blessing to have them for the weekend. Greg, one of the team mates, made a big impression on some of the youth and is now nicknamed "Grandfather." The kids had a great time with the frisbees and water balloons. Brian and Greg both were able to sit down with the youth and share with them some biblical truths and express their love for them. Joesph had a random opportunity to share the gospel with some kids and youth and was able to lead some of them to salvation. It was a blessing for Linda and me to just get to chat with some people from the states, share some of our experiences and of course the mac and cheese and tea's that Brian brought with them. The whole team was super encouraging and really touched the lives of the people around here.
