WE'RE HERE!!!

We left Lebanon at 3:07 pm. Chad discovered that the speedometer on the church van is 4 miles per hour slower than displayed. He found this to be true after riding behind Greg at 61 miles per hour in a 65 all the way to Fort Mill!!

 We arrived safely in Fort Mill at Glenrock Baptist Church around 8 pm. Pastor Gene Flack and 2 other members were excited to see us upon our arrival. We are the first mission team to stay at in their church building and they are really glad the Lord led us to come.

During tonight’s devotion time, several people shared how excited they were to be on this trip and expressed a desire to see the Lord Jesus save people. We learned from Luke 9 and Matthew 10 that Jesus is calling us to radically follow Him, but Jesus doesn’t always lead us to “safe places.” Jesus says “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves…” This isn’t exactly safe, yet to follow Jesus on mission into dangerous places displays that we love Him more than our own lives. The men are in sleeping in the fellowship hall and women are in the youth room all nighty night on their air mattresses.

 

Tomorrow we will be up by 8 and will worship with our brothers and sisters here at the Glenrock. Around 4 pm we will help set up a block party at an apartment complex in town. The apartment complex will be lower income and at least 60 % African American with other nationalities present. Pray for the gospel to go forth in power!

PRAY
