We arrived in Baltimore later than expected but as many of you know, 95 can give you peace in your travels or a testing in patience. Sunday was a day of orientation, getting settled in, sweating, meeting the other two teams, learning about what’s coming up this week, planning for our block party tonight, and breaking our teens onto family grounds of 6-8 people. These family groups will be ministering together all week in various areas from prayer walking the neighborhood to visiting nursing homes, to serving at My Brothers Keeper-http://www.mybrotherskeeperbaltimore.org/, which my team will be serving at today.
The key word for the week is Flexible, because our group is going to learn what it’s like to take 5 minute showers! The church has one shower for all 39 people here! So, we will be training your teens how to take quicker showers, so when they come home there is no excuse for them to take 30 minute showers. This is just one area we are going to learn to be flexible. Our schedule is going to have a bit of “flex” to it so our people that need to be scheduled are going to learn what it’s like to be flexible.
I’m really looking forward to serving at My Brothers Keeper today and DJing our Block party and connecting with the community. Please in prayer for our group, we are going to need prayer for patience. Prayer for us as we relate with others from the different groups, for our ministry areas today, for our opportunities to share the love of Christ and for Jen and I as we lead this group.
