Day 2: Velocity Church & Kiddie Company

What a great team! Everyone got up, ate, packed up, cleaned up and got
to church by 8:15!!! We are at Velocity Church waiting for services
after helping setup.

Please pray for us this week. Last night we learned a few things about
Cleveland. In Raleigh the economy is down but it's nothing like here.
When people speak about Raleigh it's usually positive and about
growth. Here it's not so upbeat and in fact the city is shrinking. In
Raleigh about 12% of people are connected to an evangelical church
and, while we have a long way to go to reach 100%, here in Cleveland,
less than half a percent are connected to such a church. As teens in
Raleigh many are connected to a youth ministry and have friends who
are too. The lead pastor here shared that he knew of no youth
ministries anywhere in the area!

Pray for God to use us to connect one life at a time this week to help
lift the spiritual darkness in this place. Know at home that we are
blessed beyond measure both economically and spiritually and thank our
father for that.

We miss you Lifepointe!!!!!

It is amazing what we see and don't see when we are isolated in our own little world or in our community. Once God opens our eyes to lives in need of His presence, we realize how blessed we truly are - I just know all of you are making a HUGE difference! We are praying for you!
