Lee Moor Center El Paso

After a very tough day on Wednesday, when we endured 3 flat tires....and a grueling trip....Thursday was a great day of harvest!  I am never surprised when our kids stand up to a task...they do it all the time.  Today was no different.  We arrived at the center and Tim shared one of the most stirring, Holy Spirit led devotions ever...many tears flowed as we were reminded to never take our witness for granted...he also compared us to the 72 that Jesus called out in Luke 10...just so happens there are......you guessed it 72 of us here at this time!  Awesome word of inspiration from Tim!

At 8:30 the games started...Joey and Richard had a great plan..."The Day of Miracles".  Each station was built around a Bible story of one of the miracles of Christ.  It was beautiful to see the kids interacting and leading all of these stations.  Every choir member had the opportunity to share their personal testimony during this day, it was great to see.    Following the story stations, we did a 50 miniute worship service....we taught the kids some praise songs, and them sang 4 or 5 of our songs....definitely not your traditional choir service....because much of the time, our choir was sitting with the kids singing and leading them....it was precious to see...at the gospel presentation, three kids prayed to receive Christ!  Hallelujah!  He is Lord!  Following the prayer, several choir members went to those who prayed and ministered to them...another picture of the maturity of this group...I walked up to Tyler Hale immediately following the service and we both just looked at each other...stunned...it was truly amazing what God was doing....and how He was using us in such a mighty way...HE DESERVES THE GLORY AND THE PRAISE!!!!!!!

Following the worship service, we played a bit longer, had lunch, then departed....to lterally cross Texas....all the way to San Antonio.

During the trip, we watched Louie Giglio...Hope #1...intense...reminder that trouble will come in this life...but HE overcomes the world!!!!!!!  We serve a MIGHTY GOD!!

more to come...

Crazy Day

Today was a crazy day for us and I think the Satan was trying hard to throw up some road blocks for us to keep us from our time with the kids from the Lee Moore home in El Paso. We started off the day witha flat tire on the bus and were held up about an hour and a half. We blew out another tire on the way there on the interstate and spent about an hour on the side of the road. Finally we got another flat at the center. Luckily, our bus will have six new tires in the morning!

We did make it to the center tonight though and had a great time playing games, basketball, and singing with the kids there. We had to pospon the concert until tomorrow but that is alright because that justallowed us two days to spend time talking and building relationships with these kids instead of just one. Gos is good and had it work out perfectly!!!

We are going to have a great time tomorrow with our VBS style Day of Miracles. Good night!

Actions speak louder than words~

Just a quick note ~aren't these kids just amazing...I sooooo enjoy reading their thoughts...however, (as an eye-witness)- their actions speak louder then their words.    Seeing them minister to folks is truly a blessing!  Sharing communion at the Grand Canyon was truly one of the highlights!  Your prayers are so special.  God is really moving in the lives of these kids (and chapherone's too).  Please continue your prayer support.  See you Sunday (invite a friend)!!

La Emily's (sleepy-eyed) thoughts

Hello from sunny Arizona...where it's 101 in the shade. Yesterday was so unbelievable. I shared the morning devotion...then,seeing the Grand Canyon was breathtaking, by far!! I don't know if I will ever participate in communion in a more reverent place. Overall, I'm tired, but, having a WONDERFUL time experiencing God and ministering to others.

Amazing

This is my first choir tour, and so far, words like 'awsome', 'wow', 'and 'unreal' have not come close to describing what I have seen.

God is Amazing

This has been so very awesome in so many ways. I can just see every where we go the work of Gods hand. I have never felt the holy spirit as much i do now. Being that this is my first choir tour its just so "AMAZING." Even though that tour is soon coming to an end on sunday, that should'nt stop us from just praising him. The father has made so many wonderful creations, take for example the grand canyon we visited it on tuesday. It was amazing just to see what all God created for us.  I cant wait till next years tour.

Thinking

Everyone wants to write something in this blog, but everyone is confused. Confused about all of the things we have done and having to pick out just one to write about. I could tell about the missions, the churches or even the random singing at random places. But i wont, i will tell you of my favorite part. Communion at the Grand Canyon was a very special way for our choir to come closer, break down walls with each other, and resolve any issues. As I walked to take the bread from Brian and dip it in Trea's cup I felt a feeling of resolution, of excitement, and of peace with my heart. I dont know if what i wrote is very good, but it came from my heart. Thank you and God Bless!!!!
