Hey everyone!! I apologize for this delayed post, but y’all must know about the awesome week we had at Harrisburg Invasion ‘09!!! Last Tuesday the 14th, a group of us unloaded at Harrisburg First Assembly of God to launch a week of community service and friendship evangelism. Over 10 other youth groups, 150 kids in all, gathered together for worship with the Michael Gungor Band, who was with us all week long. Every morning, we’d get bussed into various parts of the city to do everything from mulching, VBS, daycares, and soup kitchens. In the afternoons, we’d canvas the city by passing out free sodas and cards promoting the big block party that was at the end of the week at Marshall Elementary. All of this was packed with great opportunities for the kids to form relationships and have conversations with the people of the neighborhoods while demonstrating a very Christ-like character. Although it was very tiring every day, God was so good to refresh us with a good word and worship session every morning and every night. All of the kids have returned fired up for local missions. As we continue to pray for the Greece team, let’s also remember that there is much to be done right in our back yards! Please pray that the seeds we planted in the lives of these people would continue to be watered and matured.

Here are some shots from the Block Party last Saturday. It’s estimated that about 7000 people showed up to this event! It was packed with games, health fair, job fair, concerts, pony rides, you name is. All FREE!!! Many were touched with the love of Christ! Praise God!
