Day 1

Today, I truly learned how much I take for granted, such as three meals-a-day, a warm shower, and the ability to walk down my street without glass and other things lying all over.  We are going to be staying really busy everyday.  I serve as a staff team member, each week we will be hosting different youth teams.  In the mornings, we serve them breakfast, and then eat breakfast ourselves.  Following that, we, the team staff each take our team and have a meeting.  After this, we each go to a site and then walk different streets picking up kids. Once we get back to the site, we do a bible study, a sport, and crafts with the kids.  Then some kids stay for lunch, most of them hadn't eaten anything since the weekend.  The kids come for different reasons some come because they feel safe, and others just have no where else to go.  Please pray that the hearts of these children, their parents, and their families can be opened.  Pray that through our community service time that the community can see something different.  Pray also that through the events that all the kids, even the entire community, can come to know Christ's love.  God bless.
