I thought I would write the story behind the pictures.
Sunday we led worship at James Island Baptist Church, had some beach time and participated in a prayer walk with Northridge Baptist Church. We prayed around the apartment complex in which we were to hold the Kids festival Monday, Tuesday and tomorrow (Thursday).
Monday students worked at a home clearing some serious weeds and brush and replacing a wall as well as doing work in the bathroom and with the electrical (no students were electrocuted!) Some other students handed out water in downtown folly beach. These water bottles had a small piece of paper taped on them with a scripture verse. Monday afternoon we began the first afternoon of teh Kids Festival at the apartment complex. Over 40 kids attended. This complex has had a problem with crime and the owners have resisted allowing Christian groups to do anything on site. We are the first group allowed to do such an event. It has been a real God appointed time. We finished our night with a swim party at a local church members home (Roger McGee’s former house)
Tuesday was more construction and yard work and more water bottle handing out. We also had the Kids Festival. Again we had around 40 kids show up. We have Bible lessons, rec time, craft time, and of course lots of balloon animals and face painting going on.
Today, Wednesday, we took some time to visit Fort Sumpter and walk around downtown Charleston. Tonight we led worship for Roger McGee’s former church, Ashley River Baptist. The students gave all they had and did a great job. Ask about the Wednesday night version of “Me without You”…you will laugh when you hear it!
Thursday we are going to be back working at a different home in similar projects and then we will finish our work up tomorrow evening with the last session of the Kids Festival followed by a free cook out for the kids and their families. The students will then give a shortened version of the program for those in attendance.
Friday we head home. I’ll post more info on what happens Thursday as well as some fun travel stories.
Have a great end of your week!
