Yeah!...we're here

We made it to Chicago, we had a great travel and were only a half hour late. Traffic from O'Hare into the city was fantastic and really a huge blessing. We picked up the students from the airport, their flights were delayed but we still made good time which was also a huge blessing. We are staying at the Ellis Avenue Church which is inside an old mansion. We have the place to ourselves all week and are spread out over the whole place. It is in a neighborhood that is home to many famous poiticians and atheletes. It is right near the U of Chicago campus. There are many staircases and rooms, but no air conditioning, but luckily we found some fans which we are very thankful for. Tommorrow we start our first work project and will be working very hard. Our leader is awesome and we have been very blessed by Him. He knows the city very well and obviously has a heart for the city. One thing that he told us was that out of the 200 nationalities in the world, 140 are represented in Chicago: "The world is coming to Chicago." We would really love and appreciate your prayers and we ask that you continue to pray for safety, endurance, and effectiveness in ministry.

By His Grace
For His Glory
