July 12

We have just one day of ministry left, but the week has gone well and we look forward to God's continued working. The clubs at Sharps and Evergreen both continue to go well; Sharps had 21 kids today - the highest so far. Evergreen was down, but the guys had more time with each kid that came and no real distractions. Cody did come to our team devotions, and the Sharps Teen Club (Jim, John, and Marcus) had the chance to talk with him for quite awhile. Cynthia, a teen girl that Kelly has befriended this week, really opened up with her. Some of our guys were able to play basketball in Evergreen, and Zach was able to reconnect with Tyler, one of the guys he met from the Spring Break trip. Our team is really learning what it means to love the Lakota people and develop genuine relationships with them. The gospel has been presented, and we pray that the seed falls on good soil to produce fruit as God gives the increase.

Friday is our last day with the kids, and our team is really excited about one more opportunity to spend with the kids. We are hosting a bbq at the church Friday evening, followed by a worship concert. Pray for us as we have one last day to share the love of Christ with the Lakota people, for our followup with some after we are home, and for our team as we bring back our experiences and God's working in our lives.
