Our team came to minister in Orlando, but as always is the case with God's work, we have continued to receive more blessings than we could give.

In the morning, the team had the opportunity to share at a Christian fellowship club in a public middle school. When we arrived at the school, there was a large group of students waiting for us! As it is a public school, this group of young followers of Christ meet BEFORE school every Wednesday morning! After a time of open gym, we all shared in a time of worship with over one hundred students in attendance! This was followed by "prayer at the pole" (prayer around the school's flagpole outside of the school) led by Eli, the passionate young leader of this fellowship. Spending time with these young people so fired up for Jesus despite possible persecution from their non-Christian peers was very encouraging to our team and gave them some food for thought.

Some senior members of the church we are staying at really wanted to shower us with some love by serving us lunch topped off by ice cream sundaes! We were
all so incredibly blessed not only to be recipients of their loving kindness and thoughtfulness, but to also be able to spend time with such warriors for Christ - truly something we can all strive to be!
In the afternoon, on our way to Kid's Club, rain poured down in sheets - a great obstacle for outdoor ministry. In faith our team prayed for God to hold back the rain so we can preach the Gospel to children. The rain did continue to fall as
we arrived at our sites. However, lo and behold, God moved the clouds just over our sites (confirmed using online weather reporting!)! Despite the wetness after the rain, the children we have been ministering to all came out to greet us. Finally, to remind us of His sovereignty and power, the rain came pouring down RIGHT after we packed up our vans to leave our sites! Praise God!
Today was certainly a day of unexpected blessings.
