You, O God, are great and greatly to be praised!
Today we wrapped up our last day of ministry here in Kosovo. It has been such a blessing for me to watch these teens serve our great God. I am so proud of each and every one of them. After breakfast we had our usual personal quite times. We followed up quiet times with some preparations for two kids clubs that we would be doing later today. Our host then took the team to a local restaurant for some more traditional foods. Following lunch most of the team headed off to an abandoned building that several people are living in where we played basketball, performed our Zacchaeus skit, and made some crafts with the children.
After this, the group picked up Jennifer and headed out to a village to do our last kid's club. The club went great. We had about 20 kids and were able to go through our normal routine of Zacchaeus skit, group explanation of wordless book, Zacchaeus book craft, handing out of wordless books along with another explanation in smaller groups, and finishing it all off with fun games in a nearby field.
Tonight we had our final traditional meal for supper followed by a time a studying God's word. Another local worker, came by to lead us through a study of Psalm 73 and share a few stories of from his years of service.
It was a long day but the teens did a fantastic job. Although Erin Thomas was not feeling too well in the morning she managed to make it through the day and did her usual amazing job of showing God's love to the kids. She is doing much better this evening, but please pray that she is back at 100% tomorrow.
It has been such a privilege for me to lead this team. I have been so proud of their hard work and willingness to serve. Thank you all for praying for us and sending us out to share God's love and message of grace to a people in need.
Grace and Peace,
Jeff Edmunds
Prayer Requests:
-That the team will be able to process all God has taught us on this trip.
-God will use the experiences on this trip to draw us into deeper dependence on Him.
-That the team will have a good time of debrief in Vienna.
-That God will continue to work in the hearts and lives of the people here in Kosovo through his servants here.

Wow! What a busy last day you all had! I'm sure it was met with many emotions - of joy, of excitement, of longing to stay with the new friends you have made, yet to come home to old friends and family. Thank you for serving the Lord in Kosovo!
Erin - take care and get lots of sleep (oh wait, you are/should be sleeping now..) Praying for 100%.
