Well, we've officially delved into our work here in Lame Deer! We have the youth divided into four subgroups all working on different projects while here in Montana. The first is the outdoor camp at Crazy Head Springs which is where the youth are holding a daycamp for children 12 and under. It consists of activities, bible stories, and lots of games and food for these precious children. They are going to be illustrating learning to put on the full armor of God daily. I feel as if these children are going to have a truly amazing experience this week. The second and third groups are ministering through community service- consisting of painting, lawn mowing, church repair, etc. The kids really seemed to enjoy themselves today and showed a great sense of teamwork getting their jobs done. The last group is actively involved at the Boys and Girls Club organizing crafts and sports for ages 10 and under. I (Shawn) was able to be a part of this today and I can tell you the children love for us to be there. Sadly, you can feel a sense of separation or annoyance with some of the workers there as we are trying to bring Christ into these children's lives. We are strongly praying against the attack of Satan this week.
Which brings me to our highlight of the day....:-)
On our way out to Buffalo Jump (a hiking trail and overlook) for our fun activity of the night, our faithful schoolbus that we have been borrowing from Pastor Dean's church decided to stall out. Thankfully Anthony Wood is a diesel mechanic and immediately got to work. We sent a few people back into town and the youth were all safely transported back to Lame Deer with the help of a borrowed 18 passenger van and some of the wonderful youth workers here. It turns out that the gas gage doesn't exactly read the correct level of gas and we apparently just ran out of gas. The bus is fine and we will attempt to hike Buffalo Jump tomorrow. We ended the day with a good time of prayer and small groups and are about to head to bed for Day 2 of ministry. Thank you for your continued prayers..... we can feel them!
