The morning starts off with a breakfast of eggs, sausage, and...potatoes! Then it's off to Youth Worker meeting and time for the first morning gathering. This morning, Nick Hall starts Day 2 of Challenge with Matthew 5:7...Merciful.
Mercy must be experienced before it can be given. Mercy is radical. It is at the heart of God. He gives us 5 components of mercy and challenges us to pray for 5 people.
We then go to eat, again, and it's off to our afternoon options. Kayla, Alexia, and Taylor decide to spend a shift sewing backpacks with the GlobalFingerprints programs. Shirlene takes them, and they spend some time helping to assemble the red backpacks that will be sent oversees to Congo, India, and Haiti. These signature red backpacks will contain the basic school supplies to help an orphan or child in poverty to succeed in school. Along with the backpacks, we also took the opportunity to sponsor one of the orphans in Congo. More on that in another entry.
David, Ross, and Lisa went to the Youth Workers' Lounge, where Starfield took some time to meet with youth workers for a Q & A time and share their ministry of worship. Interesting enough, one youth worker asked how we could pray for them, and these were some of their prayer requests: both brothers are new fathers and are attempting to juggle families and work time, for discernment in worship gigs, for strong relationships, and to continue to serve God and be servers of all.
Starfield closed the day tonight with a special concert. Kayla stood in line for an autographed poster, CD, and shirt.
