Today, we left the hotel around 8:45 AM. Boo gave the morning devotion and prayer. He did a great job.
We arrived at the Police Athletic League (PAL) Center and no kids were present. However, the team played and three boys came. We were able to give them Bibles and T-Shirts.
Next, we had to cut short our next Baseball Clinic, but the team was intense for the time we were at Curtis Bay Recreation Center. I have been impressed with how the team has so quickly connected with the kids. Saying a child's name goes a long ways toward making them feel special. Members of the team have practiced this consistently throughout the trip. In a short time, team members are yelling words of encouragement and the names of children. This makes an impression upon the directors of the centers.
Tonight, Scott Bray and I had dinner with Pastor Lyn O'Berry and his wife, Toni. He has a great desire for us to return next year and focus on a site for 3 to 4 days. We are praying about what God would have us do.
Later, our team, and a team from Indiana, worshipped together at the church. The music was fabulous and worshipful. Dawson Hull is the Minister of Music at the church. He is an amazing pianist. He brought a great message tonight based on 4 chairs that represent the spiritual condition of various people. This unique worship service will not be forgotten.
We will leave the hotel at 6:45 (EST) in the morning. We should be home by 3:30 PM (CST).
