It's Thursday and it's been an amazing trip so far. Why? Because the students that are here have been pushed hard and taken everything thrown at them with excitement and joy - even creativity. I hope that their stories inspire some of us adults. Here are some of the things they've done in 3 days:
- Steven and Alex gave their shirts to homeless people
- Jon sat and listen to a mentally unstable homeless guy for 45 minutes. Just sat and listened
- We scooped ice cream in Tent City - a homeless hot spot
- Katie and Chelsea taught the elementary MetroKidz
- Jon and Steven taught the Middle School and High School MetroKidz in a small group bible study
- We cleaned out and finished Pastor Mike's office - giving him access to his first office ever.
- Alex, Justin, Devin and Emily led worship last night
- Emily organized a menu and bought all the food for us for the week
- We gave away clothing on the street
- We stood on the corners and prayed for people
- We caught a mouse
It's been amazing. Justin and I have been blown away by these guys and girls, not to mention the staff here at Charm City. Today will be filled with flyering the neighborhood and planning for the blopck party (they're planning on 1500 people this year!).
I'm going to try to have them all guest post if I can find the time and give you updates in your own words. Stay posted.
