Tuesday Update

Tue_1
We met with seven of the missionaries this morning and did a prayer walk through Highland Gardens. We divided up into teams of three and simply walked down the streets of the neighborhood, interceding for the people who live there. In the picture to the left, Andrew (one of the missionaries) and Robert are walking up a street that is now mostly abandoned. Following the walk, we met back in the home of some of the missionaries to talk about our experiences on the walk, and then we prayed together. I am really looking forward to the team sharing during the service this Sunday.

Following the walk, half of our team went back to work on the house we are remodeling. The other part of our team stayed at the school to help with the children who come to the summer day camp. After supper tonight, we all watched a video message from Keith Phillips speaking on, "God's Concern for the Poor." (You can watch the video here, click on Cornerstone Church - January 12, 2007) Following the video, we brainstormed and prayed about how we can make a difference at home there in Martinsville.

There's so much more that I'd like to tell you about today, but it's getting late and we're planning on getting started tomorrow morning at 6:45 am! Yikes! Thank the Lord for strong coffee! Thanks again for faithfully partnering with us in prayer! I can't wait for you to hear how the Lord is answering!
