Well today was our first full day of outreach. We had breakfast at the church where we have all our meals and then we had a time of intercession with some of the members of the church. Some of the things that we prayed about and that you can keep in your prayers are the health of the city and protection for the church from spiritual attacks. Just recently, there has been an outbreak in the city of a virus that has already affected close to 800 people, 60 of whom have died from it. The government announced last night that all the schools, ranging from preschool through university, will be closed until further notice to help prevent the spread of this disease. No one knows what exactly it is or where it came from, just that they don't want it. It's been really weird seeing some people walking around with surgical masks on to protect themselves. It directly affects us because we were going to go to a high school on monday that has never had any church work done in it and as of now we will not be able to go there and do ministry. And in regards for protection for the church from spiritual attacks, there has been a lot of weird things going on in and around the church lately. Last week, the pastors car was stolen from right outside the church (the police found it today) and also two of the women in the church have had dreams and visions of serpents attacking the church. One lady had a dream that there was a giant snake in the doorway of the church blocking her from entering and in order to enter, she had to fight it off with a sword. So please keep these issues in your prayers.

Today we also picked up trash and had a prayer walk through the neighborhood. It was really good getting both to serve the community and see a little bit more of the area as we were praying. Tomorrow is a free day so we'll be hanging out with one of the guys that we met from one of the local youth groups, so it should be really good!
