The first night we were there (Saturday) we helped out with there version on youth group. We did the lifehouse everyting skit( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVJqRLU3J0I watch it if you have never seen it) and it was amazing, the teens were very responsive and after a hard day of preparing the Lord blessed us with 10 salvations. It was such an amazing night!
Sunday morning we went to black people church and it was SOOOO sweet. We got to worship Jesus in a way i had never done before. I feel like that day I got a little glimpse of heaven and boy is it going to be exciting! The next night (sunday) we had a family dinner. That night i met Glinn and Tiffany. They forever have impacted me. Tiffany taught me how to jerk, and glinn taught me how to angry dance. it was super awesome to be able to fellowship with them. I ended up giving tiffany a bible on tuesday which was amazing.
Tuesday night we put on our first block party at hert park. within the first hour we had seen 200 people. God really brought the people in so we could touch their hearts. That night we had a couple more salvations, which was so awesome to see God move in the people in Roanoke.
Wednesday was our day to have to ourselves. So we went to the lake and just got to enjoy God's creation it was sooo awesome! it was seriously so beautiful! I wish there were beautiful mountain's in Indiana :)
Thursday we did another block party but this time it was in land's down. It was beautiful and tons of people showed up. I worked the clothes table and this lady was dancing around and so i asked her, "if everything was okay," She said, "Yes everything is wonderful i am so blessed," and i said "The Lord is blessing you isn't he," and she said "Yes he is!" That was soo encouraging to she the Lord work in the lives of those people.
Friday we put on a 3 on 3 basketball tournament. It was awesome to see everyone interact with each other, and to be able to put on a positive thing in the community. It was awesome again to see God move through his people.
Saturday was a super busy day! First we started out with a car show and it was raining so not alot of cars showed up. I think that God was letting us rest so that we would be ready for another night of Straight Street. We were so exhausted so he was telling us to save ourselves and give our all that night. We did some more skits and songs, and some decisions were made. It was neat to see some of the kids back that we met through out the week.
In my life God taught me to always be in his word. Prayer is a powerful thing. Never ever be afraid God will always give you the strength and the words. Most of all see him in everything.
If his grace is an ocean we're all sinking. Heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss and my heart turns violently inside of my chest and I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the wayyy that he loves us WOAH how he LOVES us WOAH how he LOVES us WOAH how he LOVES. - John Mark McMillian
