Amazing amazing amazing! Once again God showed up big time for our mission team. We finished up our final day of work today and I am so proud of our team. They truly allowed God to work thru them and never stopped. I have come to expect nothing less but it makes my heart soar when I see it.

Tonight we celebrated with a community BBQ. We invited the kids from kid club, parents, area residents... There were possibly 200 people joining us for a night of eating and music. What an awesome ending to a great week. The topper was our closing worship time. The youth work staff washed the group leaders feet and we in turn washed our kids' feet. It was a deeply emotional time as we all understood more deeply the grace and servanthood Jesus showed the disciples when He washed their feet. Upon finishing, we washed the feet of the staff and prayed with them. It was a wonderful way to end our week in philly.

We will sleep here tonight then head to a rafting trip and dinner with Dave and Kristal Smith and their kids tomorrow. We are all looking forward to the fun tomorrow and though we are physically leaving philly- this community will remain etched in our hearts.

God is awesome! Pray for safe rafting and travel.
