Wow! What an incredible weekend. Having the whole team together was so special. We were able to bond at the beach on Saturday, and on Sunday we were all able to support Jordan as he preached the word to the church here! Of course with the help of Alvaro, the brother from El Salvador. He's done a great job translating a ton of things.
The whole service was led by the mission team. Beth was a part of worship, and she worked so hard to memorize the songs in Spanish!! A group of us worked on a skit as the intro, Jacob and Brie did communion and Skye did contribution. Jordan preached about how God calls us all to GO. And afterward, so many disciples were sharing how impactful it was and what a great reminder of the great commission. Jordan spoke with confidence and conviction-- and a lot of patience as he had to stop to let Alvaro translate his sermon. Elizabeth and Jose Luis presented Jordan and Latoya with a gift as their going away present. It was a good way to transition them out and transition in Jordan Zech, Katie Ziegler and Jessica Chesser.
We're all going to miss the Masseys, but they did a great job setting the team up to finish off strong these next two weeks on campus. We wouldn't have chosen a better couple to start us off. On Tuesday, we'll have a going away party for them and then you all will have them back home at North River!
Campus today was great. Out of the 35 studies, we're starting to see more and more who's really open to God's word. And we're excited to see what God will do and how He will show himself and transform lives before we go.
Miss you all! Keep us in your prayers.
