The last day of ministry at the James Jordan Boys and Girls club was both very productive, and very hard. We have spent most of the week building relationships, and saying goodbye was not easy. I am so proud of each of our students and their willingness to invest into the lives of these children. Everyone did an awesome job.
After saying our goodbyes at the Boys and Girls club, we headed back to the college campus to get ready for our next event. We split into two groups for “Immersion Night”, where we are sent into the city via public transportation (more specifically, the “L” train), and are to imagine what it would be like to be homeless teen in downtown Chicago. We each had $2 for dinner, and where supposed to secure a meal and find where we could stay if needed. It was difficult, and very eye opening. We all met many very nice and interesting people. It was really good to get a different feel for the city.
Saturday will be a different day. We are spending our morning cleaning and packing, and in the afternoon we are heading to Six Flags Great America. It will be interesting since it has rained all night.
The goal will be to have an update Sunday before we get on the plane, but with our early departure, that may be difficult. Thank you for your prayers and support.
Pictures from Friday are now up. Check them out Here.
Not a whole lot but we do have a few journals for you to read. Check them out Here.
We will be partnering with the “Center for Student Missions” (www.csm.org) and their inner city Chicago staff for the week. We will be involved in an assortment of unique opportunities. We will be working with children, youth, and adults. We will also work a variety of different types of ministry project, from child care centers, light construction, prayer walks, etc… |
