Going 30 hours without food isn’t something most people do … BUT we did. Choosing to be servants in our community in places that are awkward and uncomfortable isn’t something most people do … BUT we did. Not complaining and doing it all with a smile is not how most people face these moments … BUT we did. Do we want credit? NOPE!! Colossians 1:29 says: to this end I labor, struggling with all HIS energy which is so powerfully at work within me. We accomplished these things together, not just you and me BUT you, me and our first love … Jesus. Thanks to those who gave generously, we were able to raise money for world hunger. Men and women throughout the world struggling to find food will now eat because 60 plus peeps decided not to. Plus, we we’re able to love our community in tangible ways.
Ok, now for some highlights:
Friday night was a blast. We connected with our service groups, selected three verses from scripture to memorize and laughed together as we got to know one another. Here’s some evidence from Friday that it was a blast. First some pictures:
And now some videos:
We spent time serving all over Yucaipa and surrounding communities. That list included: Ronald McDonald House, the memory care center @ Wildwood Canyon Villa, pulling weeds in the rain, cleaning/painting @YAPS, helping a family move, organizing and cleaning @ the library, visiting and playing bingo with our friends @ the convalescent homes, and serving with Youth Hope. Here are some photos of us hard @ work:
It was a packed two days. Thanks to those who prayer, support and came out to serve. We loved being with you and look forward to continuing to choose to be servants alongside you. Before you’re done reading this, consider supporting a child through Compassion or World Vision @ $30 dollars a month. That money will help feed, educate, clothe and encourage. If you did the Famine, you already participated in doing those things so this next step will be very easy for you. Here are some final photos from Famine. Thanks all:
