Village Bible Church || Aurora | Indian Creek | Sugar Grove | IL

After our Bible lesson from Joel, we spent time as a team debriefing our day and talking about our highs and lows for the day and what God did during the day.
 
Below are a few of the comments from our team:  

Ben Justus 
 I've been struggling with my faith recently and today, God has strengthened my faith and I am growing in Christ again.

A little girl asked if I knew Hayley, and I said yes, I'm her sister.  She said, that's so cool, now I know two sisters!

When I went up to a house to give invitations - Can't come - is there anything I can pray for you?  Yes, pray for safety - Prayed  - Just seeing high schoolers come witness to us is a real blessing!  (The picture of Elyse outside the van window is Elyse beaming because she just finished praying with an older man).

Kids wrote on their belt of truths that they made in craft time, and we were touched by what they wrote below:

"God is my heavenly Father

When I die I'm gonna meet my daddy"

Today was eye opening.  The place they worship doesn't matter so long as they have a place to worship God as we thought about and saw the plaster coming off the walls.

- There is more genuine love here than back home - that's why I love this city.  Also, when I canvassed I stopped by the house of a boy who remembered me from 5 years ago.

There were 3 guys working on car right in front of our church.  One was a guy 6'7" and he intimidated me.  - Michael walked up to him asked - "hey you wanna come to the block party?"  And he said, "Sure, I'd love to come!"  It was great seeing God at work through my fears.
