Today our route took us through four different states: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. Since our departure from Charlotte, NC was an early one due to a 1:00 pm concert in Atlanta, it was “pretty quiet” on the bus for the first couple of hours. Then we met with our prayer partners for our daily devotion time. Bro. James challenged us to continue the things we’ve been doing and finish well as we make the final leg of our trip and head home.
We made the 4-hour drive to Atlanta and got there in time to stop at Sam’s (with the help of wi-fi and GPS–isn’t technology grand?) to buy cookies for the youth of the Metro Regional Youth Detention Center where we gave two concerts for about 125 youth, of which 41 prayed to receive Christ. One of the 41 was a young man we’ll call K. who came up to Bro. James after our first concert and asked if he would pray with him one on one. James told him he would have to ask permission, which he did. As they sat on the front row, James asked the young man if he felf something different than he’d ever felt before inside telling him he needed to pray the sinner’s prayer to which he replied that he did. James led him in the sinner’s prayer and then challenged him to let God do something great in his life, to which he replied that he would. Please pray for K. that he would be established in the ways of the Lord. How grateful we are for the good work that God has begun in K.’s life, and that He has promised to be faithful to complete that good work.
Afterward, we made the 3-hour drive to Prattville, AL where we spent the night. The kids were excited to arrive early enough to eat at a restaurant instead of fast food. Some ate at Chili’s and some at Texas Road House.
After dinner we headed to the hotel where we had enough time for both girls and guys to get in a little swimming. (As usual, ladies went first.) After swimming, we had our nightly worship time before room check and bed time.
Daily devotion of Tues 6-8
