Tuesday Update

Hello!

Today was another eventful and successful day with our projects of painting, cleaning the streets and passing out hygiene kits, and leading our second day of VBS. Click here for day 5 photos. Two teams went to Homegirl Cafe and got a tour of Homeboy Industries where we heard an awesome transformative story from Marvin and how he got involved with the ministry. We also heard from Crushow, who used to deal drugs in Skid Row but now leads the Skid Row Brigade to help the community. The VBS lesson was about how Jesus finds the one lost sheep because he cares for us. After dinner time with the families at the mission, we heard a message from Mr. Locke and learned more about the power of choices and the power of God who will not give us more than we can handle. Tomorrow we will all be at the URM working on projects here. There will be a special dinner outing as well. Stay tuned for more reflections from the students :)
