... to all the family, friends, and loved ones who are tuning in this week, i look forward to providing you with a brief snapshot of what the team in up to throughout the week though these posts! Last night, the team arrived here in Dolton, IL at the New Community Church safely and without incident, then immediately got the opportunity to participate in the church's youth service, which was filled with tons of fun and games! The rest of the evening consisted of delectable chicken dinner, followed the orientation meeting. All together there are 57 participants this week between Hope and two other churches. With this amount of manpower please be praying that God will allow this team to be used in big ways this week! This area has many needs but God is both able and willing, so please keep this team and this community lifted up in prayer! - chris
