this lifehouse song was in my head this morning....i have already had a group turnover thus far and my new group is smaller...there are about eight of them. which makes for a very different type of trip. but ill brief you on my old group first..
it was a group of about 23 students and adults and they were just a fabulous first group to work with. We went to a bunch of different places including charlie's place, and roja which i feel like i have talked about before, a place that i hadn't mention was vision dc which is actually a piece of world vision. it was a huge storehouse kinda that contained a whole bunch of not only school supply type resources but also basic needs. the group i was with was able to unpack a few things that were soon to be shipped to haiti so that was neat..
prayer tour, middle eastern, and jamaican food were soon to follow. overall it was a great experience...we even had a chance to teach the group signs...[thank you boiling springs youth group]
some things that i noticed with this group were just how they viewed the city as outsiders because of their background, and how much they blessed people with not only there time but monetarily as well, including mo and i.
i mean there is so much i could say about my last group and about how God is changing me and kinda what he is calling me too, but this next group is headed to some here shortly, and i don't think i can put into words just yet was has been going on so i will be sharing at some point, but it has been amazing to see God move in this city...
a few other things that are totally God-awesome i saw amanda from school specifically my oas class and she is back in dc as well doing americorps so i am very excited to be seeing here from time to time, also the newman group that is here now, one my amazing roommates was in a newman group at ship, which just makes the group i have now pretty cool, and idk things keep happening i keep meeting new people like faith from mo's group that are i think just giving me input into whats next.
i can tell you also that youtube youth group is officially starting today. tom and allan from camp and i are going to be enveloping ourselves in the youtube community for as long as we possible can just so we can start encouraging and digging deep into the word with some teenagers and such who may usually go to youth group or who go and just want to learn more...it really is an awesome project that i have been praying about i just didnt know...there is a lot on my heart for young people especially those that i have been hanging out with and since a lot a lot of young folks are on youtube it is about time the gospel is moved there as well.
i love you god and plenty more to come as i begin with this group.
[The God of All Comfort] Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.”- 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
