Great morning of ministry so far. The church is very welcoming, and great to be a part of. The church service went well. Gideon and Katie led worship, Katie and Stephanie did special music, while Stephanie and Shane shared why they're in Vale and what God is doing in their life! Now the majority of our team is out at the park meeting more. Please be praying for our outreach tonight at 7pm Mountain Time. I believe that Vale UMC really has a heart for kids and their community just needs a spark to make it happen. We were all especially impressed with Lillith. Lillith is a 98 year old lady who still has her drivers license and drives 8 miles to and from church. We all spread out and had lunch with different church members. We all will definitely eat well this trip! Off to meet people and get ready for the park tonight! Brad
Brad and team, So excited for the RRCC crew! I think this Vale thing was a Godsend and I am expecting that He is going to do a wonderful work in and through you all! Praying for ya! Brian
wow - sounds like a pretty good start - an answered prayer that they are so welcoming and that worship went well. We'll keep praying even as we sweat here too - it's hot:) - praying for a cool time tonight:) blessings!
Great idea to do the blog to keep us updated! Praying for all of you! Praying fr God's work to be done! Can't wait to hear about it when you get back!
I'm glad to hear you're all off to a great start! I'm sure the music was great and I look forward to how you bring a "spark" to this community, even if God works in ways you didn't originally expect. Keep up the good work!
I am praying for God to both amaze and surprise you with His love and the work He is doing. I am so proud of all of you and thankful for the heart of compassion that you all have.
