I can't take photos of all we do, so I thoughts I'd share a little in prose instead of pics. Teams have had several meaningful times with the street people under the bride, one thing I love is that the homeless show hospitality! Most of them are so welcoming and initiate conversation, putting the awkward youth at ease.
Teams have been leading the worship services at the juvenile detention center on Sunday morning and on Tuesdays some groups participate in a interactive bible studies there. At one of these meetings, I heard that a man named Tim from West Virginia lead three boys to the Lord and got to baptize them that night too. One of the boys cried and later said it was the first time he cried since his dad died. The Spirit must have been up to something; for a tough boy to cry in the mist of other tough boys is tough!
Most teams have been going to the nursing home and spending time with the elderly and help the staff out there with some work. Many go to pray for the mothers and unborn out by the abortion clinic. Recently, a team went out door to door to pray with folks and there ended up being some moving times. But yeah, we've been up to a variety of people ministry, its a welcomed change from the past 5 years of gutting house (nothing against house gutting).

For a week, Steve shared about Urban Ministry
Well, I don't know if any of you know the addictive power of this game, but yeah, I ended up spending several late nights playing game after game and getting wooped every time. Good thing humility is a good thing in the kingdom of God!
