Portland

The majority of the team has arrived in Portland, and God is already working. Once we arrived and settled into the hotel, we went into the town to try out the lobster. The restaurant was crowded allowing a couple of our team members to share a table with a local couple. During dinner, it became apparent that the lady was very interested in Christianity and described herself as a seeker. Through this conversation, we were able to share some of the fundamentals of Christianity and will be able to connect her with Christ the Redeemer. It is amazing how God can work through strangers during a simple dinner conversation. We are looking forward to worshiping with Christ the Redeemer tomorrow morning as well as preparing for the upcoming week. I would ask that you would pray for safety in travel for Emily and Brian Beckett as they fly up tomorrow and stamina for the members of our team. Thank you for your prayers!
