Project is going amazing. There is 11 students on project and we have just gotten really close so far.
Here is what we have done so far this week. We flew in on monday and just hung out and got to know each other and found out what the plan for the week was. Tuesday we went for a hike around L.A. and saw alot of the sites that we would be going to for the project. We went to skid row which is where alot of the homeless live and it was so eye opening. It broke my heart to see that. I found out that they have there own police department and that the job of that department is to make sure that the homeless wont be in the business district. i just thought that was so sad that the people cared more about the image of the city rather than about the homeless. It was just so eye opening.
Wednesday we went to different parts of the city and for this we were broken up into different groups. I went to crenshaw and this is where alot of the African americans live. It was really cool to go there and to see how everybody lived there.
Thursday we went to a park and shared are faith with the people in the park. It was really challenging because i'm not use to going out and just sharing my faith but God was really good about it and we were able to talk to a couple of people. Thursday we also had free and as a group we went to the grove which is a big shopping center and just hung out. we also hung out at the house and talked and got to know each other more.
Friday we went to the beach. At the beach we did team building activities. For are ministry sites we are broken up into teams. So that was really good to be able to build up a lot of trust into each other and just get to know each other through it. The beach was amazing. it was beautiful i loved every single second of it.. Then that night we hung out as a team and gave each other are testimony's and that was just great because i was able to just get to know them more and hear how they came to know Christ and what there life was like.
Saturday we have split up and had mens and womens time and it has been fun.
So far this project has been rocking my world and god has just been doing amazing things. i can't wait to see what He will do this summer.
Keep praying that i will be able to do God's work and that I won't lose focus.
Thanks
