Each evening our CCC students and leaders gather together
for a recap of our activities. Some of each day's "highs" have
included our morning devotions, worship (led each day by Faith Balster and
Elizabeth Montgomery), and reenactments of hilarious moments that have us all
in tears.
Today, (Wednesday) each team switched to a different work
site. A couple of teams worked with the kid's club, and a few others did work
projects that included gardening and building a ramp for a disabled man who was
coming home from the hospital.
Every day we learn more about the beauty and differences of
the Navajo culture. Last night we had the privilege of eating Navajo Tacos that
we made ourselves
More than the service projects, however, more than the
laughs, and even more than the relationships we have built with each other,
I've enjoyed seeing the students grow in their knowledge of and curiosity about
Christ. During our small group discussion times, we've grown closer together
and been able to talk about the nature of God and what it means to know that he
loves us.
As we move forward into the last couple days of service,
pray for a continued camaraderie between our team. God has without a doubt
created a group that fits perfectly together, but the emotions of saying
goodbye to new friends can often be difficult, especially after the exhaustion
of a packed schedule for a week. Pray that the we would have a great turnout
for our community cookout tomorrow, and that we would be able to share the love
of Christ with the people who come. And most of all, pray that God would be
truly glorified through the selfless work that our students have done.
With tired eyes and a content heart, I put down my phone to
say goodnight, and thank God for the support of many faithful saints who are
holding us with their prayers. Thank you for being a part of what God is going
here in Fort Defiance, AZ.
