1st Baptist Church - Duncanville, TX











This past week we had the pleasure of the the Acteens (teen ladies) mission team from 1st Baptist Church in Duncanville, TX. These you ladies were a joy and an inspiration to have serving here with us.

In the mornings, most of the group went to the Blackey Senior Adult Center where they conducted something similar to a VBS for seniors. They played games, did crafts together, sang songs of praise and heard Bible stories each morning, then ate lunch with their new friends. Some of the girls have been here before, so they were actually renewing friendships from trips in the past.

A portion of the group spent their mornings at Letcher Elementary School where they worked on several bulletin boards, assisted with a Headstart reading program and put together a prayer room for the teachers and staff.

In the afternoons, they hosted an after-school Kid's Club here on the Campus. Games, crafts, food (snacks), and fun were on the agenda as nearly 40 kids came each day to learn about how big God is and how He can do anything, forgive anything, use anybody, and save anybody!

It was a wonderful week and we are so thankful to these Christ-like ladies for their service and hard work, but especially for their sweet spirits and great attitudes!
