Today was a tiring day. We spent the day painting the apartment of a local family, or should I say family. There were to families sharing a 3 room apartment, with 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a small kitchen. Each family had a bedroom to essentially serve as their house. there were three beds in one room and a crib and two beds in the other. It was a humbling experience as we often complain about not having the newest, nicest things, while these families were essentially living in an 8x10 room. Because of the language barrier we were unable to strongly communicate with them residents, though we were able to tell the story of Jesus as best we could to the little girl that lived in the house who spoke English very well. Overall, the youth put forth a great days work and we are excited about tomorrow.
Tomorrow we will be going throughout the community, mainly knocking door to door, inviting people to the block party on Saturday and hopefully having the opportunity to share the gospel of Christ Jesus with them. I trust in the Sovereignty of God and know that there will be some among those with which we will talk that He is calling to Himself and that we will be able to share the gospel with some and see some come to salvation. Please be in prayer for us, that we will have boldness and will clearly communicate the gospel and God will save some. Tomorrow will be a report from one of the students on what has taken so place over the week so far.

As I am sure you are all experiencing, the world is far reaching in its physical and spiritual diversity. Being present in witness is the strongest first steps to sharing God's love and salvation through Christ. Be assured that everyone that walks/talks/acts for God; they are carrying out his command.
God bless and witness!
