Day 2 in the Books

Day 2 was the start to the real meat of the serving on the trip. It was jammed packed with serving like Jesus, loving the community, and prayer in it all. 

We started the day with Adopt-A-Block which was explained in the previous post. 

Followed by lunch. Followed by Kids Zone. Which is an intentional ministry to children in the inner city. Particularly in the gang infested projects. 

In fact, we had the first kid service in the park where last week a 17 year old was killed in gang related activity. Not a safe neighborhood. But the Dream Center is well received and valued. Here's some pictures from that ministry:

As you can see, it was a blast sharing Jesus to these kids! 

After dinner, we had free-time so we decided to make it to the beach. Laguna Beach.

It was a lot of fun to unwind and play in the surf! God's creation is beautiful both in nature and people. 

The one thing you can pray for from today is Eric got cut by a sting ray at the beach. It's minor but it's on the bottom of his foot, so it hurts to walk. Pray he is healed of the discomfort.

Tomorrow, we will be sending 3 into the kitchen to help them prepare breakfast and lunch. The other 12 will begin praying and talking with the homeless on Skid Row. The afternoon will be serving food to the homeless. Pray for boldness and God's providence. 

Thanks!
