Our association has partnered with an association in Milwaukee, and our church has been very interested in the ministry of the Arabic Church of Milwaukee. As somewhat of a scouting trip, Blu, two other church members, and 4 of our youth (the 4 oldest) planned a week long trip to help Pastor Issa with park ministry. It was very interesting! The team's job was to provide the "draw" in the parks - through soccer, sidewalk chalk, and then balloon animals. Once people came to participate, Pastor Issa began to talk to them and invite them to his church. Several people came to the church, so it looks like God was working! Funny how creative God is - He can work through a balloon animal if he wants to!
Caed & Blu - they left at 10pm and drove through the night!
Blu getting a butterfly painted on his face - Rylie later painted a chameleon on his bald head eating the butterfly!
Most of their ministry was in the evening, so they had plenty of time for board games and bonding at the AirBnb during the day!
