Greetings from Dundalk

Greetings from Dundalk Md.

What a great time we had traveling to Dundalk yesterday. We made it to the hotel about 5pm, and had time to relax before dinner and firworks. We went to the only firework show in eastern
Baltimore county last night, and boy was it crowded. We were met by some of our brothers and sisters from First Baptist Dundalk, and they showed us the ropes on how watching fireworks in Maryland is done. We were sooo close to the fireworks, that if the wind was blowing the right way, we could have felt the ashes from the fireworks!
After weaving through the city to avoid traffic ( I'm so thankful for guides who know their way around) we headed back to the hotel to get prepared for what God had in store for us on Sunday.

What an awesome Lord's day He provided us. Pastor Josh spoke on the Love of God, and how we are here to share it with the people of Dundalk.
After worship, a group (Russel, Josh, Jeffery Honchell) stayed behind to make sure the stuff for the block party was Ok, more about that later, and a group went to the Inner Harbour in Baltimore. It is a "touristy" kind of place with restaurants and things to do.

Everyone arrived back at FBCD (First Baptist Church Dundalk) to set up for the block party.

Block party. WOW what an awesome event. We had food, music, and 3 inflatables. A 35 foot rock climbing wall, a 25 foot slide and a velcro wall for jumping and getting stuck to that wall.
We also had sumo wrestling inflatable suits.

There was an EXTREMELY GREAT turn out for the block party. The property was full all night long.FBCD prayed for a great turnout, and as He always does, God provided excedingly greater things than we could imagine.

We got a great start to the week, and I can't wait to see how God is going to use us this week.

Continue to pray for us, and also FBCD. Pastor Chris told us they have grown 10 to 15% since last year. Pray for the Upward camps, the BYBC, and the teen sports camps this week.

Thank you church family for your loving support, both financially and spiritually. Even though
you are not here physically with us, you most certainly are our partners in ministry this week

May God bless as you continue to pray for us.
