Sunday pm from Beebe!

Greetings! We have had a wonderful start to our missions trip in Chicago. After a full day of driving with some short stops in between, we arrived in Chicago to enjoy the all-famous Giordonos. We had a short tour of Sunshine Gospel Ministries and some good group prayer time before heading to bed. Overall, it was a safe, good first day. We started our day today-Sunday-early with an incredible church experience at Christ Bible Church. It was truly a unique group church service that the students are still talking about. After church we hit the city of Chicago with Millenium Park, the Bean, and lunch, followed by a fun water taxi ride that brought us right to Willis Tower, which was so fun on a beautiful sunny day in Chicago, including a reflection time at the top of Willis Tower. We are now heading to our church lodging at City Church to have dinner. We are preparing to switch gears as we officially begin our missions time with Sunshine. Tonight we will meet the staff and find out our service groups, which kick off bright and early tomorrow morning. Thanks, as always, for your prayers! Continue to pray for good health and strength as we prepare for tonight and tomorrow. Also pray for everyone's spiritual growth and patience-areas we have already been so impressed with already from all the students.

Sounds like a perfect mix for the weekend and now it's time to get moving! Really love these daily blog posts.
Zachary - you are so missed around home, it's way too quiet and no one is asking me challenging questions!
We have been praying for the group and will continue to do so.
Thanks to all for representing Wooddale Church in such an inspiring, positive way!
Love, Mom,(Renee), Sam, Maisy, Jazz & Indigo!

Thanks for the blog updates. We are eager to know of the work and experiences you are having. Please take care in the heat, as it is supposed to hit 96 degrees there today. Stay cool!

Rachel B: Mom and I love you so much and are so glad you have this experience to carry out God's will.

Take care all.
