Day 3

Sunday we saw the Lord bless mightily. In the morning we divided into 3 teams and spread out all across the city of Montrose to minister and lead in three local churches. All three groups had great times of worship and saw the moving of the Holy Spirit. The students and sponsors were living testimonies for the Lord.

During the afternoon, we went to our 3 VBS locations and began to make preparations for the week ahead. Many times this is the most difficult task, since we never know how many kids will be at any given location.

The students are working hard and serving the Lord through their each and every step. Our sponsors are also working hard and are such amazing examples to our students. I thank the Lord for their wonderful participation and for the sacrifice they make to come on the trip. They lead our students by example and love them whole-heartedly.

After a supper of sloppy joes we had our first VBS kick-off celebration at Rosemont Baptist Church. The purpose of the Celebration was to pre-register the children, but to also introduce the parents to Rosemont. Mission accomplished. Everyone had a great time and at that point the enrollment numbers were higher than ever before.

We are seeing lives changed forever! What an honor and privilege to serve the Lord by giving of ourselves. Please continue to pray for us and the people of Montrose. Tuesday and Wednesday we will be working with the city of Montrose on some service projects. This will be a significant opportunity for Rosemont Baptist Church to establish a presence in the community that they are striving to reach for Christ.

Until then,
Buck
