Mission Trip Round Up

Hey everybody, it's Saturday and we have now made it home from mssion trip in Philadelphia.  It's been a couple of days since I've posted to my blog with an update about Mission Trip Philadelphia. My phone didn't charge overnight on Wednesday, so I was without a phone for most of Thursday.  Then Friday was another travel day with us doing a little sightseeing in Philly in the morning and then it was time to get our travelling circus to the airport for the journey home.  Let me just say this about the last two days in Philadelphia, they were amazing and we really saw God's hand at work in a lot of areas, and I'll get this all on the blog for you to read about.  I'll do this in several different posts over the next couple of days.  Let me start by talking about the kids who accepted Christ this week as a result of VBS at both Ezekiel Baptist and House of Prayer.  We had far fewer kids at both locations than we anticipated having (average of about 30 at Ezekiel and 20 at House of Prayer), but it became very obvious very quickly that God gave us the very kids, in the exact numbers that He wanted at VBS.  These children were very needy and required a lot of individualized attention from all of us.  These were kids straight out of some of the roughest, most dangerous and most poverty stricken neighborhoods in the entire country, so our students had their work cut out for them.  But boy did they ever rise to the occasion!  Because of them allowing God to work through them and being the hands and feet of Christ this past week, nine children accepted Christ as their Savior at Ezekiel Baptist and there were four who accepted Christ at House of Prayer.  If you've been keeping up with the blog, you've already met Shakina, the 19 year old who accepted Christ on Tuesday at VBS.  Today, I want to introduce you to two little guys, both 9 years old, who accepted Christ on Thursday.  Theses are two of the seven who accepted Christ that day.  There names are Randy and Dominick.  I've got a little story to tell you later about Dominick.  But here's a little video of each of the boys.
