Update from First Lutheran Church
Day 1 - God is on the move

by Amanda Mataczynski | July 8, 2013 11:19 PM

This morning, the team engaged in prayer walking. By walking up and down the streets of Chicago, the team prayed over houses, families in the community, local schools, and each other. Despite the rain, everyone had such positive attitudes and immediately stepped out in faith. As we gathered in the church again, we shared our life stories and after affirmed each other. It was interesting and inspiring to see everyone's vulnerability to sharing such personal life events. There were tears. There were smiles. And there was most definitely a better understanding of each other which helped us all grow closer throughout the day. After lunch and showers, the kids in the community had a blast at the sport camp hosted by the team! Tons of kids from the community joined the team and participated in kickball, four square, hula-hoop, and simply playing on the playground. There was laughter and smiles everywhere! Parents were overjoyed that older kids were interacting with their children and providing them with a safe and fun environment to play in. Dinner was remarkable! A handful of people in the host church congregation gave their time and made us a delicious Puerto Rican meal of chicken, white rice, salad, and plantains. It was absolutely amazing! Now, we can't wait to see what is planned for us tomorrow! During our closing meetings, we reviewed our highlights of the day. Numerous times we heard prayer walking and spending time with the kids as the main highlight of the day. We then each made goals for ourselves to try and meet tomorrow. Today was incredibly remarkable, and we just can't wait to see what tomorrow has in store for us. Please keep praying for God to rain in this city and for those in the community to become more involved with the local church. Also, continue to pray for good weather and participation from the local children during tomorrow's sports camp.
