After we showed the Jesus film to third and fourth graders, we had the option to go to the boy's home or go to Spring Village community center down the street, and I decided to go to the community center for a change of scenery.
Spring Village is part of a trade school where students learn welding, electrical wiring, housekeeping, etc, and we got to have some conversations with them while they were hanging out after class. On Wednesday they had shown them a short film with a "prodigal son" theme, about a girl who runs away from her father and consumes herself with drugs, alcohol, and men. I didn't get to see the video, and we were suppose to be having a small group discussion about the film. I started talking to the guy next to me, and it turns out that he hadn't seen the video either. Instead, we talked about his life and his view of God. I was in awe of how the Lord directed our conversation - he really opened up about his current situation, a little bit about his past, and I got to share some of my testimony where it applied to what he is going through. We didn't have time to go too far into the Gospel before he had to leave, but I gave him a KGP for the road. I was really encouraged by my conversation with him. We were both listening very intently to what the other had to say, and I hope God used me to reach out to him.
Here is a picture of our entire team at the
community center.
Today we are back on campus at U Tech, and in the afternoon I get to have discipleship with Karen, one of the moms on the trip. In the picture, she's the lady in the white shirt in the back row on the right.
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." -Galatians 5:1
