They arrived safely last night (thanks to everyone who prayed for them) and began today bright and early with orientation at our house. Steve shared about the Bay area and the ways we're going to be reaching out to it's people. Our projects will be a mix of prayer, evangelism, and service this week.
After orientation we stopped for a quick group picture with the Golden Gate Bridge.
(What a good lookin' group!!)
Next we headed to the Sunset district (the Chinese part of San Francisco) for some prayer walking and lunch. On our journey we showed the students different things to look for as they passed by shops: food offerings to the ancestors, alters, lucky cats and other spiritual things. This was to target their prayer to places that were spiritually dark. At lunch we met a man named Joe (an older student at City College) that we had the chance to chat with. We told him we would be praying for him. Please partner with us and pray for Joe to have a Christian witness in his life.
On the way to our next sight we stopped for an adventurous treat at Tea Way. A local bubble milk tea store. Some people loved it some people did not. haha.
After lunch we headed to Golden gate park. Almost every person who lives in San Francisco will go through the park at least once a year so we really wanted to cover the area in prayer. In addition we brought chalk to write scripture on the sidewalk. We all felt it was a HUGE success. Many people took the time to stop and read our messages and several of us were able to engage in conversations with people. Some people we met that you can pray with us for are: Paula, Margaret, Alex, Man from Mississippi and kids, Mother and Daughter with bike, Soccer guys, and Man with five dogs. Reflecting on the idea that many of these people have never been prayed for before is crazy!
We wrapped up the day with a little In and Out Burger and headed home for an early bed time. (Jet lag has started kicking in for them.)
We could not have asked for a better group! We were so blessed and encouraged today. Can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for us tomorrow!
