Another great day here in Montana! All the teams jumped into action this morning and I heard great testimonies from each group on what's been going on with their interactions with the people of Lame Deer. Please continue to pray for divine interactions with the Cheyenne people. Each group has had different opportunities, but all purposely intentional by God. The construction team finished up their work at Christ the Rock church, helping them turn a junk room into a cafe. This group was also able to participate in a prayer walk around Lame Deer this morning. They would stop at houses and ask people how they could pray for them. One of the youth was so excited that he was able to share and pray with a 5 year old little girl who was struggling with alcoholic parents. To see his face light up as he was talking about this opportunity was awesome. The Boys and Girls Club team had a fun day of loving kids and swimming at St. Labre. It is a challenge trying to stay afloat with 5-7 kids attached to you at all times! The kids really brightened up when they saw us return on the 2nd day, so I feel as if we are making an impact with relationships. The Outdoor Camp really stepped up today with a homeade curriculum created solely by the youth. They taught the kids about the importance of trust, along with the armor of God. The children participated in a blindfolded obstacle course where they learned about the importance of trust and love for one another. It was a really cool day for the the outdoor camp.
For our fun activity tonight, the bus actually made it 45 minutes away from our camp to General Custer's Last Stand. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and after a brief history lesson, we broke into small groups to debrief the day. After a gas station junk food stop (sorry parents!), we headed home for a night of rest to prepare for Day 3 of ministry. Thank you for your prayers!!
**On a sidenote, their is no cell phone service in Lame Deer. Diane Wood has provided the youth with free prepaid phone cards but we have had difficulty finding phones for the kids to call on. There has been no injuries or emergencies with any of the youth so please be reassured that everyone is doing well. We hope to make phone calls throughout the week if the opportunity arises.
