Serve

We have been provided with a lot of different ways to serve the community here in Fresno. Some of our teams have gone to local missionaries' homes and serve them by cleaning, painting & doing yard work. Others have gone to the Poverella house & helped prepared meals for the homeless. All of our teams have been able to spend a day at the Construction site working on a building which will be a World Impact office/tutoring center/coffee house in the neighborhood, as well as house a missionary family upstairs. We are also going to the Tent Cities here in Fresno to serve food & reach out to the homeless. All of these activites have been amazing eye-openers for the students and staff. It has really made the need to serve others quite clear to all of us and I believe many of us are coming home with a new World Perspective. Please ask your child to tell you more about these activites and how they were personally impacted by the ability to serve.
Today went very well, with all these service opportunities plus an outreach in the afternoon. We are looking forward to our last day of service tomorrow, though it's definitely bitter-sweet. Thank you all for your prayers. Our team is healthy, and everyone was able to join thier groups again today. One of our team members who went home sick is even returning tomorrow morning after an amazingly swift recovery. One day left...pray we finish well.
