And we are back in Charleston and it has been an incredible day. After a late breakfast, we rolled out to attend church here locally at both First Baptist of St Albans and St Paul’s Baptist Church. There were both super welcoming and also provided delicious meals for everyone! We are very grateful.
Today we all wore our green Mission Serve shirts, and everyone gathered for a large group picture as well as church group pictures. Following this event was evangelism training. Thomas gave a brief explanation of why we specifically are here and described a fantastic way to share the gospel. Lastly, squad position training also took place this evening. Each squad has a Chaplain, Medic, Break Master, and Reporter. We are thankful for those who volunteered.
In the evening we came together again for worship. The band led us in a few amazing songs and everyone in the building was fully praising. It was so great! In his message, Thomas dared us to use our freedom in Christ in the same way that he used freedom: by loving others. He displayed this by washing two students feet. It was an eye opening experienced and many were humbled by this illustration.
Tonight everyone headed to bed early to prepare for a week of hard work! We appreciate your prayers and humble ask that you continue to pray over this project. We have already received so much ServeMail, please continue to send.
Severing you this summer,
Jackson & Alexis
