Best Day of Ministry so far . . . . .

Today was an amazing day of ministry. We went on with our normal routine in the morning, doing dance/drama and sports. Today was stronger in numbers for sports, which was a real encouragement to those involved. But us Canadians were introduced to the game the English call Football - the game where actually use your feet, not arms!! We call it soccer. But these guys are good. We would rule at hockey, well they rule at football. It is funny when an 8 year old kid is running circles around us.
It was lots of fun. We look forward to playing, it is growing on us. Meanwhile back at the church our dance/drama team was in form. We were minus Carly and Taylor as they took the day off to sleep and recover. As I write this, they are back with us this morning. Still not 100% but feeling better. Our students are having lots of fun with the dance component, which I am glad for.
Joselyne and Jazmyne shared their testimonies today and did a fantastic job. Students are very attentive when they talk and enjoy their stories.
In the afternoon session we went back to Camp Hill - we rented a center in this project where we had a gym a games room of sorts and a kitchen. As soon as we arrived their were students waiting for us because of our advertisement the day before. They were lined up at the doors, trying t break in which is a big NO-NO there. Anyway, when we get ready to go, kids just stream in. The idea for this day was to have a football game, other gym games. We would teach dance, do crafts and cook a Canadian meal - which was pancakes. Everyone loved it, the staff at the center encouraged us not to get our hopes high, and saying that no respect would be given. You should have seen their demeanor after we were done, they couldn't believe what they witnessed. It was awesome. And the staff even liked the pancakes. As well as the kids, they came back several times for more. Thanks to Holly and Torry for prepping everything.
But throughout the afternoon we played with the kids, got to know them. Several of our students shared testimonies to the crowds, and they sat their with full attention. It really was great. Students hung around until we had to kick them out. We go back Thursday to do a similar day, we can't wait to go back.
And then tonight we were all taken to a Pub to eat our meal. We would liken it to a local restaurant so hopefully Charmaine didn't just fall off her chair. The meal was great. Many of our students went with the staple meal of Cheeseburger - something familiar.
Prayer: Still strength. Couple more people not feeling well this morning. Fatigue and jet lag aren't helping.
