(Hitting the ground running) ...
Most of the Team landed sometime Thursday and most went straight to a service Julie preached at that night. Friday evening we launched our first section of the Teen Track...Saturday's continuation of the previous night's Teen Tack began early that morning and ran until late in the afternoon...simultaneously: Julie ran the Parents Seminars...following it, we went to a service that night at City Blessing's Temple City location where we also shared. Sunday morning we doubled up and went to their San Bernandino location for the early service, and made the 40 minute drive straight back to their Claremont location for the late service. It ran until about 3, and then some of us drove the hour back to LA to catch flights out later that evening. A FULL and Blessed weekend to say the least!
A few of our team are actually still in the LA area-and today are learning about filming with professional movie equipment!
While at the first morning service on Sunday-we finished slightly late-because we were praying over so many people and God's Spirit was moving so powerfully! We finished at 11:20, and made the 40 minute drive to make it to the second service at another location: their service began AT 11, and we began around noon. They had a rocking worship time for the first hour while waiting :)
I'm glad to be back in CO-I miss CA's warm weather, but not its perpetual traffic! The weather there was beautiful and no flights were delayed or canceled because of weather problems. So Praise God! The couple we stayed with were incredibly gracious and hospitable as well-and blessed us so much by letting us stay at their beautiful home just minutes away from the main church.
Personally, my faith was so strengthened throughout this time-through the services, the outstanding worship, the youth group/teen tracks, the ministry we did, and all of the above. Not only did our Teen track go splendidly, as well as the Parental talks, and the book table, ring sales-but more importantly there were so many testimonies created. People came up to the Team and there were praise reports of prayers answered, miracles which had taken place, and the change God was bringing about in their lives since this time last year when GOV ministered.
When you are allowing God to work through you-even if the schedule is jam packed, and there's not time to think- I think your more aware and appreciative of what He is doing. I am so thankful for what God did-and all He will continue to do!
So...there's the recap-thank you all for your prayers-God made it into a huge success and blessing.
GOV now has a 'break' from traveling for a week or two...and then its off to the Mid-South Homeschool Convention Memphis, TN...coinciding with CHOH* Teen Track Honolulu, HI!!! But don't stop praying now! GOV is still working hard to prepare for those events, and more, and various other surprises to come :)
