We went to a nearby park to face paint, make balloon animals, play soccer, and share the love of Jesus with the people in the park. Unfortunately, our supplies arrived an hour after we did. That didn't stop our team! We prayed together, and then throughout the afternoon they took turns interceding in prayer in pairs of 2 or 3. The rest of the team spread out to talk to all the parents in the park to let them know what we'd be doing (and not freak them out about playing with their kids). Thankfully Hannah had bought facepaint before we left, so we were able to get that going, and pretty soon we had kids lined up to get their faces painted. The team played soccer with a bunch of kids and lots of tag too. We were able to have some great conversations with the kids and with their parents.
This afternoon we spread out to 5 different ministries in the city to learn about the realities facing the marginalized people groups in Montreal. Each group had a different experience and have different stories to tell, but overall it was eye-opening and really positive.
Please continue to pray for us, for positivity and unity as we become more tired.
This is great Meghan!

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." Jeremiah 29:11,12
We are praying for each member of the team's health, safety and "weariness level"! May you sense in a very powerful way the surrounding and indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit as you meet each day!! Blessings on all of you!

Hey Guys,
ReplyDeleteIt's been great reading the posts on Gear Up! It sounds like God is already doing some great things in your midst. We'll continue to pray for health and strength as you serve and for team unity. May God show up in the "unplanned" places as well and may you sense the very real presence of Jesus within you. God bless!
