Last “full” day in Chicago

Today was our last “full” day in Chicago and it was a hot one! The temperature reached 100 degrees! But again our kids were well hydrated and put on lots of sunscreen. In the morning we went out to finish the roof at a family’s house. It was a huge sense of achievement as they finished what they had started. The family was so grateful and we had the opportunity to pray for them. After that we went to the community of Lawndale to help an organization that helps to get young people off the streets. One of the projects was to remove a tree by using only shovels and hatchets – it was quite a job. Then we had our final day of VBS. It was a little hard because only 5-7 kids were there – it’s hard to rally kids together when it’s so hot outside. But even still our kids gave their all and they shared the gospel message with each kid. It was incredible to see each teen in action intentionally sharing the gospel with everyone around them. Tomorrow we get to sleep in a little bit and then spend some time sightseeing in the city. Here’s some more pictures from our day…
