Morningview Baptist Church

Our student team arrived safely in Philly on Monday after covering 1000 miles through 9 different states over two days.  We were treated to a unbelievable breakfast, on Monday morning, by our host church in northern Viriginia – Westside Baptist Church. A huge thanks goes out to their Student minister, Chip Heyd!   We were overwhelmed by the churches’ generosity and hospitality.

Tuesday was our first full day at mission sites around the city.  It was a great start!   Our students and chaperones were busy serving and ministering in boys and girls clubs, senior adult centers, and sharing ‘the Light of the world’ even with sports campers here at our camp, Eastern University.  Pray for flexibility for our teams this week as rain is in the forecast and mission site plans could change every day.

Our students are serving tirelessly and being challenged to ‘Move’ forward in their faith.  Pray for physical strength and for our hearts to be responsive to God’s moment-by-moment prompting on Wednesday at missions and during camp worship.

Thanks for your support and prayers.
