1 John 4:19: Baltimore

Dear Friends and Family,

We have arrived in Baltimore Maryland. Fun Fact - Maryland was the first Catholic settlement in America - hence the name MARYland. We arrived separately - 10 together from Love Field, Stan and Gini came a day early and met us here, the Lafon Family Adventure Vacation/Mission Trip met us here as well as Mark and Kelly Headrick. All to say - we are here and loving this opportunity.

Once I got our transportation covered, lunches purchased and tummy's full, we all rallied together for an unexpected ministry opportunity! God opened the door for us to visit our friends from Graffiti Church - Charlie Brown, and Captivate Church - Colleen Smith. I truly did not know if we were going to be able to get to them tonight, and I am so thankful God allowed it to happen. Both places and teams experienced God moving and working in these places. It truly set the stage for us to build relationships with the people here in a great way!

Our prayer this morning was from Proverbs 16:2 - Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. This day and this week is not about us, our team, our agenda or anything of us. We are committing our lives to the Lord and desiring for Him to lead and direct our comments, relationships and more. It is a blessing to watch the Lord work in our team! It is only day ONE! Cannot wait to see what God does tomorrow.

Thanks for reading and I sure hope you visit daily.

Please continue to pray for us - Keith and Team

Story - I had the opportunity to sit down and hang with Katoria at Captivate Church. She is a 14 year old precious girl (Picture Below). Colleen shared with me that she is hard to get through to. God gave me an opportunity to share with her tonight about my family, my trip to Kenya and more. I told her about my youngest daughter LaurenKate and her decision to accept Jesus this year. Katoria asked, "Did you make her decide or did she decide on her own?" I thought that was an interesting question, so I shared with her LaurenKate's story, which gave me an opportunity to witness to Katorya. Come to find out, she accepted Jesus this year as well and had been baptized just like my LaurenKate. God seems to be doing a work in her life, and I thank God for giving me the opportunity to share tonight with Katorya. Please pray for her tonight!
