NYC - safe and sound

After an approximately 12 hour turn around, we returned from Passport and packed up and left for CLUE camp in NYC.

We loaded up this morning, 15 youth and 6 adults. Aside from heavy traffic, we had no issues and a good trip.

We arrived at Metro Baptist Church around 6pm. We quickly unloaded the bus and shuttled it across the river to a parking lot at a church in Jersey.

After getting settled in, we went to dinner at the famous Dallas BBQ. We were treated to large platters of Baby Back Ribs, Pulled Pork and Beef Brisket BBQ. It was very good.

Metro Baptist is only a few blocks away from Time Square, so after dinner we walked up to see the bright lights of Time Square. We did some sight seeing and got a group picture and called it a night.

Tomorrow is a very important day. Our Manhattan team will stay here and worship at Metro. They will then have their camp orientation here after lunch. Our Brooklyn team will board the subway in the morning and go to Greater Restoration Baptist Church where we will worship and have lunch and orientation. Tomorrow we will meet our partner churches and the CLUE camp staff members who will be leading us through the week. It is also our last opportunity to add the finishing touches to our camp program. Please pray for us as we prepare for camp.

We are already having a great time. Thank you Marty Cash and Ward Richardson for safely delivering us to Metro - we really apprecoate your help. Thank you for praying!
