ONE WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can it be possible that 1 week today I was in New York City? Is it possible that I witnessed to kids in Spanish Harlem? One week ago i left 24 good friends from Normal, Indiana, Michigan, and South Carolina. Did i really join 380 participants in a ministry to share the gospel? Over 400 decisions were made, 1,257 children participated in the sport camps, 18,000 bracelets given, we prayed with 4,000 and shared the gospel with 5,000. Can it all be true?

God did a work in New York City during July 19-25th. It was a week of many seeds planted and many fruits of praying that hearts would be receptive to the gospel. Many were witnessed to on the streets, subways, camps, Burger King, Hotel. It was a wonderful week worshiping with so many that had a strong heart for the Lord.
The soccer camp was a great experience. Not only did i learn to rely on God every hour and lots of praying and trusting for the right words as I shared the gospel everyday to 3rd and 7/8th graders; Soccer skills were also learned. The blessing I received from watching my team share each day, and then be able to pray with 1 boy at the end of the week. Our hearts were encouraged as we heard many testimonies each day....3 from our team (Sarah, Charly, Jean). Thank you for those who kept us in prayer all week!
