Activities from Saturday, July 5

The team went to a service on Saturday morning where approximately 200 people attended.  This is one of the places they had been to last year.  The Kenyans were able to pick out the four team members who had been there last year, were able to recall what they had taught, and even remembered their names.  The students were amazed at the impact that is made on these mission trips and the life-changing experiences that happen.  The school students danced and sang for the team; it was amazing!  Aaron gave his testimony along with the altar call, and did a fabulous job.  There was a youth rally with about 200 students.  They had 3-legged races, and played soccer and volleyball.  The team gave soccer balls and volleyballs to the schools represented, the pastors received backpacks, and each student received a beanie baby.  Prayers of praise--Courtney is feeling much better;  the LIA team has done a great job making sure all the details of the trip have been taking care of; all are healthy; many, many have accepted Christ.
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.  I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.  And I pray that you being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.  Ephesians 3:13-19
