Baltimore Mission Trip 2016 - Day 5

After a night of storms in Baltimore, we woke up to blue skies and cool breeze as we made our way out of the Brookshire Hotel in the Inner Harbor of Baltimore to Greenmount Avenue for Sports Camps.  Our team was revitalized after a great morning devo, and throughout the morning we had many spiritual conversations with kiddos.  Jennifer Frazier had the opportunity to lead two girls to the Lord, and Keith Tyler got to share the Gospel as well to the older kids in the park and invest in a couple of young men searching for the truth of Jesus.  Mike Cekinovich shared Jesus to all the football camp people and we simply experienced God moving all morning.

Our afternoon was met with tragedy in Baltimore.  There have been a couple of homicides this week in this city.  A couple of them have been associated with the churches we are working with, so we continue to ask you to pray for Baltimore and the darkness that is over the generational decline of this area.

At Captivate East - OVER 50+ kids are involved in VBS!!  They normally get numbers like this at the end of summer, not now, so God is bringing us kids to share Jesus with.  It is beautiful to see our team work and reach out in love those in this neighborhood.  Once again, I am reminded of the need for love and support in this great city.

After dinner with our friends at Captivate East - Hip Hop Chicken!! - we met up with our team at Church of the Harbor for a Community Cookout.  Our team has been canvassing the area all week handing out flyers for this event, and man, it was a huge success.  We played football, kickball and ate some great burgers and hot dogs!  Jeff Belcher is making a different in this area of Baltimore.

Be in prayer for our little friend, Gage LaFon who broke his collar bone tonight playing kickball.  He is a tough kid!  All is fine, but be praying for him!

One more day left!  We need your support in prayer as we finish strong.  Thanks for reading and please PRAY FOR BALTIMORE TODAY!
