Team 3 Report We bonded really well and became known as Team Armadillo. We enjoyed the many speakers at Summer Training and lead a devotion on how God has equipped us with everything that we need. Pastor Dan Smith lead the team in an enlightening Bible study on the creation of the World. We became excellent at performing the dramas “Jesus is Coming” and “And Let God”. Many people got sick at some point, but by the end of team everyone was healthy again. We met lots of friendly people everywhere that we went, including a very nice man who fixed our van for free! [Cooling system leak] Our weekend stop [Zion in Pasadena, Texas] went really well and is where OAFC Summer Training will be next year. The people at the church were very excited about OAFC and I think that it will be a wonderful Summer Training next year! |
