Yoder Team - Day 3 ??
I know it doesn't make sense how I could possibly lose track of days yet; I can't believe its just Tuesday! Today was a Community Day of Service at a school Solid Rock sponsors (CCED). At first, the plan (HA!), was to rotate kids all day through 9 different groups and activities. They were expecting, oh, around 500! Well, that last about 15 minutes. :) Flexibility is key here. Face painting, games, and just playing with the kids; as well as, continuing to build walls on second floor of school for new classrooms. What a great day! The kids were incredible and fun. We were able to donate 200 Spanish New Testament bibles, 150 bracelets and over 100 cross necklaces and faith "trinkets" for the principal to hand out as needed. She was ever so grateful. The best story of her day was that a gentleman accepted Christ!! And, for a Dominican, that is a big deal. He stripped (not completely naked) to rid himself of his old life and got new clothes and a haircut (through services offered there at the school) to start his new life. Now that is what I am talking about. The principal had such a great perspective about her "job". The day was beyond a success.

Jamelle,
ReplyDeleteTell Yoder team he did a good job that he picked you to blog. I know behind the scenes there are probably lots of laughs and a bunch of other stuff. Give everyone a hug and a smack, whatever they need in the moment, and lots of us are praying for you!
I see my man! :) Looks like they are all having a great time! :)
ReplyDeleteI keep looking for mine! Is he helping with kids or helping with building? I have no idea. :)
