Day 3

Another day has gone by and the Lord has been working! Last night after our last post we headed over to the park for a BBQ and some worship through song and testimonies. Trent and Anna shared and God was definitely working through them. Many people who showed up from the community were moved by what they heard. Afterward many of the kids who were at the BBQ came back to the church with us to play some volleyball and have snacks. It was a blast and a blessing for all the kids in the community (and for the BPPC kids as well).

We didn't wake up with frostbite this morning. Miki, the genius in our group, figured out how to work the thermostat. After a good breakfast we set out to do some work projects. This time we were divided into two groups. One group headed over to Alice's house to wash her windows and her dogs. The other group went to the senior center to fix up their picnic tables. We started by scraping the old paint off and sweeping the tables. Then we started painting them and replacing the old decayed wood. We didn't finish, but we will be going back tomorrow to finish the job. After the morning was over we headed over to the school to put on a free car wash. Let me tell you, it was a hit! We got about thirty cars and a few motorcycles and some sunburns. We set out refreshments for all the people who stopped by and had some good conversations with them. Also, a lot of the community kids came and helped us wash the cars. After an inevitable water fight we took all the kids who helped us down to the river to relax and cool off. Please keep these "Car Wash Kids" in your prayers. They are obviously looking for something more, and they know we have it. They are a blast to hang out with and we hope that as the week progresses they will know the love that God has for each of them.

Please be praying for:

• Ricky as he shares his testimony tonight
• That we would have the opportunity to have deeper conversations with the people of Lincoln
• That all our up coming events would run smoothly
•  That the people who are hanging out with us would make a commitment to Jesus
