Another exciting day

God just keeps on blessing us every day here in Dundalk.
Today was another beautiful day, sunny and in the low 80's.
During our camps today, we really focused on sharing the Gospel with as many campers as we could. I am so excited to tell you we had 5 first time decisions for Christ today!!!
So many people are needing the Good News of Jesus, and words do not begin to describe what a priviledge it is to be used of God. Many boys and girls from last year are at our camps, and it is a joy to see the ones who accepted Christ last year, still have the desire to know more about Him.
Continue to pray for us, especially tomorrow night at the Upwards award and parents night.
Alot of fun will be had, but more importantly, Pastor Chris will be sharing the Gospel not only to boys and girls, but to moms and dads, and to whole families. Pray for the moving of the Holy Spirit as Pastor Chris shares.

On a lighter note, something happened tonight back at the hotel that was really exciting.
Now many of us have been on numerous mission trips in the past, but what happened tonight has never happened on any trip we've been on. It seems that 4 of our high school boys (Broderick Blanton, Matt Parks, Cameron Wade, and Will Edwards) got stuck on the elevator when the inner door jammed, and they could not get out. The hotel staff could not get the door open because the inner door had come off the track. The hotel staff even called the head maintainence guy at the hotel, and he could not get the door open, They also called the maker of the elevator company to see if they could help, and they could not get them out. That onlyleft one more group to free the guys. You guessed it, the Fire Department of Greater Baltimore!
What a site it was. The fire dept in all of their garb coming to the lobby of our hotel to free our guys. Luckily, Pastor Mark being the media guy he is, grabbed the video camera and caught it all on tape! The fire dept had to go the second floor and open the elevator doors and have them cli,b out using a ladder. All 4 guys are fine, and Pastor Mark got some great footage that features Elise Edwards as our action reporter on the scene. Be looking for the footage in the near future.
Mabe even on you tube.

Well that's enough excitement for today, I know God has even bigger things in store for us tomorrow!!!

Blessings to you all,

Andover Mission Team
