Day 3: Another Recreation Center

Our morning began with a devotion by Mike Chatham. We arrived at another Recreation Center this morning around 9:00 AM. We had 36 kids. They were a lot of fun and very receptive to our ministry. The director was pleased and, later, told Pastor O'Berry that she was so impressed with the manner in which we interacted with the kids that anything he wanted to do in their building she would be willing to allow.

Abbey endeared herself to a girl with a hearing impairment. Abbey is very familiar with sign language. So, the girl was thrilled to be able to communicate with someone.

We returned to the church around Noon and some of the guys cut the grass in front of the South Baltimore Recreation Center. The grass was very deep and filled with debris. The center depends on the city to cut the grass. Lawn Mowers are very rare in the city. So, the mower we bought the church will be put to good use.

Abbey and I were walking to the front of the rec center and met the head of the Parent Teacher Organization for the school behind the church. She was wondering who cut the grass. I informed her that we had purchased a mower that the church would be glad to allow the school to use, if needed.

Around 7:00 PM, we gathered for Prayer Meeting at a conference room here in the hotel. David Chatham led us in singing and Ricky Dickson gave an encouraging devotion. The team has been very focused and united. Tonight was a special time of worship.
