(read Justin's post first) haha you're welcome Justin....i was taking a quiz with French vocab on FreeRice.com - a game that quizzes you, and with each question right, it donates 10 grains of rice through the UN World Food Program to help end hunger! Ginger, Mike, and I together donated about 17,000 grains of rice! Hooray!!
Anyways, our last church, Tuckston UMC was awesome! We absolutely loved the kids and had SO much fun with them!!! They were so willing to play any of the games and do all of the activities we had for them! We played lots of messy and silly games and even played paintball! We had small groups, did the Lifehouse Everything skit for the youth, and blindfolded them during worship, among other things! We are all really excited to continue on these relationships since the church is in Athens! Jack helps out there during the year and 3 of his small group guys were there and is excited to see what the Lord does this year. Several of the girls also joined us at summer Wesley on Wednesday night and really want to join us sometime during the year!
One of the favorite games was a game Crossfire learned at St. James UMC - a friend of ours from UGA actually made it up! :0) You turn of all the lights in the whole church. One person goes and hides, and the 1st person to find them, becomes a Zombie with them. The 2 Zombies then go around the church to try to find everyone and tag them to make them Zombies. The Zombies are not allowed to run and they have to make growling Zombie noises. If you don't get tagged, you win!! It is so much fun and the kids LOVE it, so we have all decided to have Zombie nights throughout the year!! :D
We have one more church in Dublin that starts tomorrow. I am extremely sad that Crossfire is almost over. I love the team sooooo much and am so excited to have such an incredible new group of friends. Each person has taught me soooo much and encouraged me in different but incredible ways in my walk with the Lord. I know that the Lord has used both my teamates and people we've met a long the way to prepare me for what the Lord has for this year!
Pray that we give our everything to the Lord for this last church! It is going to be a retreat to encourage the kids in how to walk with the Lord during all the craziness of school. I think it will be great not only for the youth, but also for us as we prepare for the year! Thank you for all of your prayers this summer! We appreciate your prayers so much and are sooo thankful for all of the incredible ways that the Lord moved!
YAY Crossfire!!! One of the best summers of my life!!! :D
