PRISON OUTREACH
Praise God! Today's prison outreach went SO well. We split up into groups of three, and each group got to spend half an hour in each cell. Started in song with Amazing Grace, Alive Alive, King of Kings, and a few others, to which the whole crowd of inmates enthusiastically piped along. Then we read and discussed the parable of the prodigal son, followed by two of us giving our testimonies. Then we discussed the weight of 1 John 2:15-16, and the radical change of lifestyle it called us to. After that we went around and individually prayed for the inmates who wanted it (a large majority). It was amazing to see how open they were in sharing what they had done and what they wanted prayer for. Had some good discussions with some of the inmates. After each group had visited two cells we headed back. I know that the Lord was working in that jail today; praise be to God!

CHEETAH OUTREACH
After that we went to Spier, a "Cheetah Outreach" where they take care of primarily cheetah and birds of prey to release them back into the wild. got to hold an eagle and pet a cheetah. awesome experience!NIGHT HIKE
Tonight we have another white-water walk where we'll be taking a hike up a fire station path once its dark, trekking through the river (tonight we're going upstream), then hiking back, theoretically without being seen. The idea is to simulate a possible predicament if being followed by armed Arabs in Sudan or other countries.
