Day 2

We spent our first morning in the Windy City at New Landmark Missionary Baptist Church. The brothers and sisters there welcomed us with huge smiles and open arms. The service started at 10am and ended at 12:30. It was a wonderful experience! It's always great to see how others do church and realize how truly BIG our God is. 

After church we boarded the train near Breakthrough and headed downtown. We ate lunch at Portillo's then headed to Navy Pier. Several of the team rode the Ferris wheel at Navy Pier while the rest bought snacks in the air conditioning. 

We hiked back to the train and headed to our home away from home. 

Two of the small groups prepped breakfast and dinner (for tomorrow) after some free time. We debriefed the day and called it quits just a bit ago. 

Tomorrow we get busy with the work we came to do. Pray that we would be helpful to the team here and a blessing to the kids we work with. 

Thank you for praying so far!

Look for the next update tomorrow.
