Ground Zero: June 28, 2009
Today has been exhausting and invigorating all at once. Ali and I just made it back to our room after a great evening of worship. God gave Aaron Coe, the head pastor of The Gallery Church, the vision for the trip based on Jeremiah 33:9, which says, "This city will bear on My behalf a name of joy, praise, and glory before all the nations of the earth, who will hear of all hte good I will do for them.

It is a blessing to have such wonderful men in our church who can preach and teach God's Word! I also know it must have been great to have Nuno and our choir back home from their tour. Thank you again for the opportunity to be here.

Danny & I were w/ the youth, so we didn't get to hear Phil's message, but Matt's was awesome.
Yesterday we had a blessing! Both morning and night!
Missed both of you though!
We were well taken care of in your absence but we surely do miss you both! Bunches of blessings.
