We arrived safely in Memphis yesterday evening and after some basic orientation with Impact Ministries an incredible ministry here in Memphis and a good night's rest we woke up and prepared for our first day of Vacation Bible School.
Our team was phenomenal in every area as they lead classes, taught music, played games, and led crafts for kids from the inner city area of Memphis. We hope that more kids will come tomorrow so that they, too can hear the message of Jesus and that our students will have opportunity to share His love with each child that attends VBS this week.
After VBS ended and we refueled with some lunch, we had the honor of visiting a local nursing home where we sang songs (old & new) and spent time having conversations with the sweet people who live there. Our students truly enjoyed this time and were amazing as they interacted with complete strangers to share the love of Jesus. Some of the students were able to visit with a World War II Purple Heart recipient and see his awards and medals displayed proudly in his room. What an honor and a moment they will not soon forget!
Please continue to pray for safety and good health for each team member. Also pray for many salvations as we continue to share the Gospel with the children tomorrow and the rest of the week!
