First Legit Outreach

Today we went on our first legitimate evangelism outreach. We were in this apartment community in Boston, close to the team's new building. We split up and went around to different buildings and told people we would be putting on a show soon for free and we wanted them to come watch. Then some of the staff performed a dance and afterward, we split up again to just talk to the spectators and hear their stories. Then more of the staff did the skit we are currently learning, called "the clincher", based on the song by Chevelle. The skit illustrates the message of salvation in a simple, tangible way.  After it was done, we found people to talk to and asked them what they thought, and just engaged in conversation. Half of our team lead someone to Christ today. It was completely awkward on some levels, being the first "formal" group evangelism we have done, but overall was good. We played with and talked to a lot of children.  They wanted love and had many questions and it was good to give them what they need.  Several adults opened up to us too. There were some people who were making fun of us, but that's to be expected.

Tomorrow we are learning the rest of our skit, along with another, and then we also have a few dances to learn.  We have been incredibly busy the past two weeks, and desperately need prayers for strength! Also, we are really feeling the pressure of getting all our funds in. We still need about $7,000 to go to Mongolia. Our faith is being stretched and stretched...and stretched.

Don't forget to send us your prayer requests! We love to hear from everyone at home.  We miss you guys and love you!

More soon, Josh and Devi
