Update from Bamberg First Baptist Church
Blue Skies

Today started off the same way as yesterday; with an amazing time at soccer camp. Except one thing was different. The Lord brought rain which made us take all the kids inside for cover. Luckily the group was prepared with the salvation bracelet activity. All the kids got to make a bracelet and then Charlie explained what each color represented. As soon as Charlie presented the color scheme, he then offered the kids the opportunity the receive Jesus in their hearts as their Lord and Savior! About 7 kids prayed a prayer out loud with Charlie!! Praise the Lord!! After soccer camp the team split up into two painting groups. One group continued painting around the exterior of the church and a room in the church. While the second group walked to a house in the neighborhood where a very special woman named Maria lives. Maria is a single mom with 3 very precious boys; Alejandro, Daniel and Omar. Daniel is the middle child(age 9), and was born at 25 weeks: only weighing a little over a pound. Because of his premature birth he basically has a severe case of cerebral palsy and is completely blind. His mother, Maria, spends all of her time by his side. She has been watching him all by herself now for 7 years. She hardly gets anytime to herself or her other kids because she spends so much time with Daniel. So our team went to her house, painted her house, cleaned the inside of her house, and Dr. Glenn, Lynn, and Pam even stayed with Daniel for the night so Maria and her other two kids could go out to eat and fellowship with each other. Once Maria returned from the restaurant she was eternally grateful for the work the team did on her house. Her faith is unbelievable. As a single mom who daily watches over her child who can not move at all, she still thanks the Lord her God with everything she has. One answer to our prayers this day was blue skies. The forecast showed that a huge storm was supposed to hit us and last all day. But we prayed with faith that God would keep the storm away. He answered our prayers big time!! All throughout the day thunder storms were surrounding us, but up above us were blue skies. It was amazing to see God answer our prayers in this way so we could bless the church and Maria with painting work!
