SATURDAY - A Full Day!

Today we went back to church for more painting.  We painted the outside of the church, and added trim around the outside and sanctuary.  After working at the church for several hours, we went to do "Dump Ministry".  This is a large dump in town where many families live and rummage for items.  We enjoyed playing soccer with the children and singing songs with them.  Our team helped all of the 20+ children make a "treasure box" craft to remind then that they are all treasures from God.  This was such a moving experience to see these families and how they live, but also to see their happiness and appreciation for the little they do have.  After leaving the dump, we returned home for quick showers and dinner.  The Beulah Youth then went to the youth group at the church we are painting.  They were able to do fun activities with the young people and pray over them.  Many of the youth exchanged their prayer bracelets with a special person who touched them today.  These were given to them to let them know someone in America is praying for them.
