Praise Reports from the Last Two Days

Praise God that...

Nick Battaglia=Able to hang out with Traechelle’s mom, Jackie. 
Kent Beckman =When I woke up this morning, I was desperately afraid of children.  Morgan prayed for me and it worked! Although we intercessors forgot to bring the prayer requests along with us, we got them from the mission blog so we could pray for everyone. 
Preston Beckman=Was able to bring new life to an old, rusted push lawn mower.
Alaina Bowman=Talked with Staff at Laz about missions.  Some are non-Christians.  When the Eagle Street kids were not obeying, we were able to stop and pray about it.  It really made a difference. Wowed that our students are taking charge and that they are a very trustworthy team
Matt Chase =Took the four boys who’ve been the most trouble away from the site for snowballs and fun.  Made a positive influence on these boys.
Savannah Girmscheid = I was Wes’ intern this first day.  We got to see everything today!
Anna Locklear= Our first day experience at Laz. House was an great experience in Love.  Great!  The health & wellness class at Laz house was awesome.  Kids followed her around at the Eagle Street evening outreach.
Jen Locklear= Our first day experience at Laz. House was an great experience in Love.  Great!  It was hard to do Free Prayer without the signs, so we gave away Gatorade on the Riverwalk.  It worked!  It was a challenging day, but disappointment did not overtake me.  I was able to pray about everything
Heather Morrison= Surprised at how well Jim was with the kids.  Loved working on Tuesday night with two special girls, Unique and Destiny.
Dima Skinner = I felt the Spirit’s prompting right away on the first day to go deep with a guy at Lazarus house.  I said outloud, “We’re doing this!”  Wow!  It’s amazing that Pepe and I talked with Victor for over two hours about the things of God.  I got permission to bring Victor from Laz House to Dinner on Thursday.
Jim Skinner = Praying for the neighborhood gave a sense of the Spirit’s guidance.  It’s been the hope of Hy for years to have a basketball court.  Today it happened.  We bought the last portable hoop set that the store had.  Mission team kids put it together almost completely by themselves!  His son, Jon, is praying for us – what a joy that brings to a father’s heart!
Josh Speer= On Monday, was so surprised at how welcoming the people were and how willing they were to tell their stories.  Was blown away by a comment someone made on the mission blog.  It is exactly what issue he’d been dealing with lately! 
Natalie Steiner= The kids @ Eagle Street really know their Bible.  A 6 year old knows all the books of the Bible by heart.  Every Bible study kid was excited to read the Bible.
Logan Walker= Right when the basketball set was completed (Took 5 hours), the kids were so excited.
Morgan Walker= We played football in the street in order to lure kids to come over for prayer and ministry.  We sent text prayer requests out and it worked.  20 Kids came!  On Tuesday night, It was great praying for the group, playing with Miss Doris’ kids and seeing that the older, rougher boys at the outreach were protecting Melony, a girl with special needs.
Wes Slawson= Very motivated team with awesome work ethic.  Very sensitive to the ministry of the moment and careful to not offend the locals.  A very unified, trust filled team!
Traechelle Carr= You guys are an awesome team!  You see a need and just do it!  Talked to lots of Lazarus staff about what mission work is all about.  The Eagle Street Tuesday night went so much better than in many weeks before.
