New Opportunities by Mike
The group from St Michaels carried the same energy I saw yesterday
into our mission this morning. We ate early breakfast and got straight
to work, sorting groceries and loading vans for Daily Bread Ministries
(an organization that distributes food to the homeless at no cost).
The kids worked tirelessly and quickly, much to the relief of the
short-staffed weekend crew at the warehouse.
At lunch, we ventured into a nearby park to share our meal with the
homeless there. For many in our group, lunch changed perceptions about
the homeless. They’ve become real people to us: people with real pasts
and families- stuck in situations that many of them have no control
over. We thank God for his provision and the opportunity to serve
those who have nothing.
