Neighborhood Barbeque

 After church today the families in church gathered for a barbeque on Blake Street in Lewiston. Now this isn't really the first place someone thinks to have a family oriented BBQ but that's exactly what God wanted us to do. Most of you know I am part of EABC's extended church in downtown Lewiston. We have named ourselves simply the Downtown Church. A few new families that have recently joined our church live in neighboring apartment buildings on Blake street. These families have such a heart to reach their neighbors and asked our church to help them host a BBQ in their park and that's exactly what we did today.

 We had several neighborhood kids and a few parents come out to the BBQ. We had organized games and prizes for the kids and plenty of food. There was a lot of laughter but more importantly relationships were formed and acquaintances turned into friends. I am so excited to share these pictures with you. I think they can serve as a way to give you an idea of the area in which the Downtown church is serving and to put faces to the kids we are ministering to.
I appreciate your prayer for us as we serve as missionaries to this part of the world. Please pray that we would continue to connect with not only the children but with their families as well. My hope and mission is that God would be glorified through is church and that the people of Lewiston we find God to be their ultimate joy.
