We had a handful of youth from Thai's church this week help out. There was about 9 of them. Then my wife, Abbie, and John took off to go out. We were armed with over 80 hot dogs, water, fruit, and tracts.
Our first stop took us to the Mindietas. They are doing well, but they have alot of needs. They expressed to us the desire of their kids to have role models. Abbie, one of our helps suggested that we could adopt some sort of 'Big brother', 'Big Sister' module that may help. This would allow for more parents and volunteers to invest in the lives of these children. On average there's about 10-12 children in that house, but last Thanksgiving we served well over 20 children in that one house.
The second stop took us to the car wash area where we helped 4-5 homeless. We got to serve them and give them some food. We also heard Jesse play his guitar. Once again, he played very well and we were treated to a free concert. Our next stop took us to the gas station near Southside Church of Christ. Fo stopped by, so we gave him some food.
Our last stop led us to Lancaster Street near Union Gospel Mission. We stood there as we passed out tracts and water. There were so many there, that I spent most of my time praying for them. Some of them were familiar with the gospel, and we're glad to have served and help them.
Till next week!
