Daytona - Easter Sunday

It's Easter in Daytona..and although the day has been a bit overcast, our spirits haven't been. The day started with a sunrise service for those on the team that could wake themselves up that early...followed by the full team heading off to CrossRoad Baptist church to enjoy an easter service with Pastor Dan and the rest of the body at CrossRoad. They were very accommodating to 29 strangers showing up for their service.

After the service we came back to the hotel where we enjoyed a "traditional" Easter ham dinner (complete with asparagus)...and celebrated Brian's 19th birthday! After dinner we headed out to the beach....and we continued to see the team come together in unity...including a somewhat "violent" game where everyone dives in to the pool looking for a little candle (or toothpick)...heard great stories from Laura, Lauren and Liz as they had opportunities during a walk on the beach to have a serious conversation with some individuals...

After dinner we spent a great time in prayer, sharing and worship as we prepare our hearts for tomorrows work.

Pray with us for tomorrow as we set up our tent and begin handing out food...and look for ways to share God's love with the people of Daytona. We are excited (and a little nervous) about tomorrow...dealing with our own feelings of inadequacy....but we know God is faithful, and the he has brought us here for a reason, and we are eager to discover it!
