Our theme for the day was Sacrifice.
The teams read Isaiah 58 together in the busses and discussed fasting that pleases God.
Their memory verse was John 15:12-14 which they had to quote for their leaders before dinner.
Their first challenge was the everyone had to fast lunch. This was a stretch for our students, but they all made it!
Our first stop was the Valley Forge National Park. We spent about two hours learning the history and visiting some of the sites.
We then drove to Valley Forge Christian College where we unloaded and got into our rooms, then headed for a much anticipated dinner.
After dinner we had a presentation by Pastor Phil Baker (former SGT Youth Pastor) and a couple of students about the school.
At 7 pm we went to a small hispanic church and ran the entire service. We had a full worship team and I preached while Adriana interpreted. We then presented the church with a gift. We gave them all of the money we would have spent on lunch, plus each person pitched in $10 for a grand total of $700! (See Isaiah58 and how this relates to fasting.)
We got back to the school at 10 pm, had a team meeting, and are now in our rooms getting ready for bed. It's been a good, full day.
