Passport, July 3

Wow! What an amazing day God gave us today. God is realy moving in the hearts of our students. Tonight there were many responses to the voice of God calling them to be the one that can make a difference in our world.

Today we spend time looking at the story of Martha and Mary and how God's response and relationship to them is really an example of how we need to embrace gender equality and the empowerment of women across the world. Yes, both of these women were empowered to be followers of Jesus when the women of that day were not spoken to let alone touched by a rabbi.

The mission sites were unbelievable - today was the day that the reality of the work we were doing was effectin real people and families. Wait till you hear the stories of the prayer walk through an abandoned home, the pictures, sotball, and even false teeth!

We had two teams in the Volleyball tournament, but unfortunately did not win either game. The missions offering and Variety show wwere also this evening. Our students and chaperones gave sacrificially to make a difference in the lives of small children at the Rickert Institute in Liberia. There were also two great acts from SBC in the show.

We are headed home tomorrow and are currently scheduled to arrive around 8 on Saturday morning. Keep us in your prayers and plan to come to the Passport Sharing Party on Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Youth Room. There will be lots of pictures and testimony from our students and chaperones.

Enjoy these pictures! - Michael
