ChristPoint Methodist Church

Tonight the ChristPoint team arrived safely in Lake Charles. The PPM team, Mount Olive Baptist Church, and SWLA Responds are beyond excited to partner with them this week and serve God and others in the local community.

After their arrival, we had a great orientation and time of fellowship. In the morning we have the pleasure of visiting Mount Olive Baptist Church for their Sunday service.

As we begin our week please pray for our team to be a light to others and show the love of Jesus to every person we encounter throughout the week. Also pray that the ChristPoint team can grow closer as a group, and that what they start here would continue as they go home, and they can impact the Lindale, TX community as well.

We appreciate all of you back home supporting and praying for us.

We love you guys! God bless!

We had a beautiful time of worship with Mount Olive Baptist Church this morning. Pastor Braylon taught from the parable of the prodigal son. He related the two sons and their situations to two fields we all choose from. One field, the good field, is a field of being a son, and full of sowing and support. The other field, the bad field, is a field where you are solo, a slave, and in slop. We have the choice of what field we are going to be in. We need to choose to be in Christ's field. 

After the service Pastor Braylon met with our team and we enjoyed a delicious lunch of Buffi's Peaux Boys.

Jason, Jack, and Matthew enjoy some much-needed rest after working hard. This trio brought so much spunk and unique energy to the group. What are the odds?

This morning our team had the amazing opportunity to cross on over to Texas where we went on an amazing swamp boat tour lead by our amazing boat Captain, Eli. We learned lots about the history of the swamps in Texas and Louisiana and saw so many beautiful things, as well as a few scary things! We were able to really see a different part of the beauty of Gods creation today. 

Our group was able to paint the local park bathrooms on Wednesday. We applied a coat of white to the walls. It was a reminder that Jesus has washed our sins away and now they are white as snow (Isaiah 1:18). After we finished our project, we got to enjoy feeding the ducks and watching them swim around as a flock.
