We began our day with a devotion where the students were challenged to look at how God can use their abilities for Him. After beginning our day with some quiet time with God, we packed up and went to the Abah House over near Firestone Park.

Abah House is a Christian home for women who have been homeless, incarcerated or living at risk and whose lives have been tainted by bad choices. Click here to read a story about it.

While we were there we started landscaping and working on some construction projects inside and outside of the house. We’ll be going back there tomorrow evening and Wednesday morning to finish up. The students again worked hard and get made a lot of progress.

After lunch, we headed out to our 5 Day Clubs in the inner city. God showed up in a big way! Our students were pretty apprehensive at first, but once they got there it was obvious that God had these clubs set up for them. 2 kids accepted Christ today and a lot of seed was sown. There are too many stories to type about or I would be writing this blog all night! So you’ll have to wait til the Mission Akron service on June 28 to hear some of them. I will say this to ABT, be proud of what your youth department is doing! They are out of their comfort zone and loving it. The impact they are making in just 2 days has been awesome. And to think they still have 4 more days of Kids Clubs to run! We’re praying for God to keep working through us.

After dinner, former Starboy (motorcycle stunt team that started in Akron) Jim Frazier came into Connect to speak to the students and share his amazing testimony. A life of drug addiction, alcoholism, fame and fortune; redeemed by the blood of Jesus! Amazing and inspiring!
