Today, we worked with three of the other youth groups here (along with some local ministries) to put on an incredible block party. The block party consisted of a clothing table, food table (hot dogs, fruit, candy bars, etc.), snow cone stand, cotton candy table, a bouncy house for kids, an art table (where people could paint on this HUGE piece of paper), entertainment stage (It just so happened that a youth choir/band from Seattle was in the city and they came and rocked the place out), a prayer station (where people could come and receive prayer and a preaching stage.
The event was truly amazing. There were hundreds of people who came to enjoy the food, clothing, entertainment, fellowship and more. Our students were divided into teams with the other church's, so it was the teens who were running each of these stations (of course with some adult help as well). They did such an incredible job of setting up the party, carrying out their jobs and cleaning up afterwards.
I'm so proud of these students! It is such a privilege to partner with them on this trip! They are amazing!
