Door to Door invitation

Sunday afternoon a group of us went door to door and invited our neighbor's to next weeks "Block Party". It was kind of neat to hear that most of our neighbor's knew who we were and where we lived. (I don't know if that is good or bad, Asa can get kind of loud) Many of our neighbor's were excited about coming over our house next week. We have a lot planned. We are going to have hot dogs, Hamburgers, Music, and playing some American games. So pray for us as we prepare to show the love of Jesus next week at the "block party".

So please continue to pray for us that God would open more doors for ministy.
