BAMA Bound!

Hi,
So this is my first time visiting the MOWA Choctaw Friends Center and I had a blast. Some of our group from our UNCG campus ministry came down for the week. We had tons of laughs and worked hard the entire week. It was really cool because we were able to meet all kinds of people who live in the community and use the center. Tuesday the kids went back to school so we were able to help the kids in the after school program each day we were here. We would start after school out with a little devotion and a fun game for the kids to play then they would go to their classrooms and work on their homework. On Wednesday we went to the homes of a lot of the elderly women in the community we took them coffee and just sat down and talked with each of them. Wednesday night we were able to do youth group for the middle and high school aged kids in the community. They were so much fun at youth we played games then did a lesson and then we all ate dinner together. On Thursday we were able to visit the elementary school that most of our after school program kids attend. When we were walking down the halls of the school and saw some of the children their faces lit up they were so excited to see us.

This week we not only meet the community but we also did some projects around the center. We painted a room in the school and then fixed up the bulletin boards and put the room back together. We also worked on a secret project for Jennifer and Corey in the lodge! We fixed up the bathroom upstairs. It looks so GOOD! This was a great week and this ministry is doing great things down here in Sanktown! Can't wait to return!
