On Sunday, October 26 we went to a ministry called Lifehouse. They help unwed mothers during their pregnancy and beyond. That day they were having an open house with the theme of a carnival. We all got there early and each of us were assigned with a game booth. We enjoyed painting little faces, helping kids bowl with a soccer ball and soda bottles, giving out candy just for trying, and many other fun activities. It was so wonderful getting to meet the sweet ladies and children and see them smile! After about an hour or so we gathered to pray and then prepared to dance. We just dance barefoot on the grass and the casual attitude of the event definitely helped calm our nerves. We danced to "Love Take Me Over" by Steven Curtis Chapman and "Carry Your Name" by Christy Nockels. Before, between, and after the songs Alexa, Grace, and then I shared testimonies and short messages. We were all very blessed by the warmness and welcoming spirit of all those watching, and we hope they were blessed by the worship. It is always our desire that the audience be pointed to Christ by our dancing and that through it they too would just worship Him. It was a wonderful first outreach and we can't see what God has next!
