Hey all!
Today was an amazing day! Unfortunately, I'm getting to this late so I need to be brief. Our day began today with an awesome time of worship with the New City worship team. It was fun to see our kids worshipping with the inner city kids who attend camp at HFIC. We also had a fun day at the job site. We split up into two teams for the work time and both sites went really well. At one of our sites, 2 jr. high age inner city boys who are working with HFIC helped out. It was encouraging to see the way our kids interacted with them and made them feel welcomed (haha, one kid even called Ian his "white brother.")
After worksites we canvassed at the Woodlawn Apartments for Bible club. We were all a bit nervous for this, but it ended up going really well - we had a lot of positive responses from the kids - Praise God!
Tonight we went up to Covenant College and had dinner, took a brief tour, and had a stimulating session about poverty alleviation. After this we went to a lookout area on top of lookout mountain and watched hang-gliders. It was beautiful.
Finally, we ended our evening by debriefing our day. Our discussion went really well and we talked a lot about (amongst other things) the importance of restoring dignity in poor people - helping deal with the shame that they often feel.
(sooo frustrating - having trouble uploading pics - I'm sooo sorry! :( )
