Backyard Bible Blast, Day 2
Today was much like yesterday for the group: handing out fliers in the neighborhood, doing a program at the shopping center. We did give them a bit of a break in the afternoon by taking them to Anna Kanal, the beach not far from the shopping center. They gave out fliers until they had no more, then they swam and played on the beach for over an hour. After that it was one more time around the neighborhood letting people know about the program.
When the time came, only two children came: one girl from yesterday and one new girl. We were a bit disappointed about the number, but everyone still had a great time and felt like it was worth the effort. But I think we will all try much harder tomorrow as we work to get the word out! My personal hope is that we will have at least 15 kids tomorrow. With the number we met over the past two days, I think it is more than possible.
Please pray that we will listen to God's leading tomorrow about the places to go and the people to speak to. And please pray that the Mission Team will not be discouraged, but will feel that their work is bearing fruit. I truly believe God has given us this opportunity; pray that God will give us the faith to see it through.
