Freeville, New york!

May 10 - 13, 2010

Tuesday morning we served at Covenant Love Church in Freeville New York. We started the day by helping them cut out material for little dog stuffed animals they are going to make for foster children. We then were able to do a school assembly for the K-8th grade school they have at Covenant Love. The kids really enjoyed the dances and rhythms we did for them and the songs we did with motions. Then we had the 7th and 8th graders for a little while longer. Some played games with us, while the other half learned rhythm with John. There was a lot of talent in the group and they really enjoyed it too! The building Covenant Love is currently in, is an old barn so the ceiling of the downstairs is all logs and wood boards. It made it very dark down there so in the afternoon we worked on white washing the boards to make it much lighter. It was a good start to a project that is going to make some great changes.

Again, Wednesday we continued the work projects. 5 of us went outside, and spread woodchips on the playground. They did a great job with it even though it was cold and a little rainy. The rest of us continued on the painting project inside. We finished the first coat of their locker room, coffeehouse room, and hallway. When we left, it was looking much more cheery and happy. We are excited for what they are going to be able to do with those rooms as they continue the update.

Wednesday night we had the privilege of being with the youth of Covenant Love that normally meet on Wednesday nights, and many who don’t usually come. The Lord was really at work and it was exciting to minister to a crowd of mostly youth who aren’t that much older then us. We prayed for at least four graduating seniors, that the Lord would show them what to do next. A few of them are even praying about coming to MCOKC in the fall. Jordan got to pray with a young man who said he had a hard time hearing God’s voice. After praying for him and encouraging him that God speaks in different ways to different people, he even got a word of knowledge for Jordan. Levi received a word for a guy and told him that the Lord noticed him and He is not ashamed of him. The man said he didn’t feel like the Lord cared about him and Levi was able to pray with him and lead him to the Lord healing him from some past situations in his life where he was made fun of. Joseph prayed with a few guys who wanted to receive the gift of tongues. Even though they didn’t right there, it was encouraging that they desired to receive it and we are believing they will. Laura received a word for lady that the Lord smiles on her and is so pleased with her. Ariana received a word for the same lady that Lord wanted her to not worry about her future and trust that she is bringing him glory. Ariana got to talk and pray for her and later we were told by one of the pastors that the words were right on for her. John had a prophetic painting for the Church about dance coming back into their church and in that dancing there was going to be purity. This was a very exciting word for their congregation because people are just coming into the church with a passion for dance. Many connections were made and we really enjoyed being with Pastor Ken and Faith Negvesky and their Church. They were very welcoming and grateful to have us there.

We are now in Middlefield Ohio for a few days before heading to our last stop in Michigan on Sunday.
