NYC Adventure!

March 15, 2010 at 6:21 pm (Uncategorized)

     So, i went to New York City. It was awesome. I was woken up at 4:00 AM and told that I have 7 minutes to pack some things to take with me. We found out that we were going to NYC. About 7 hours later we get there and the adventures began. Well, without having a map of how to get there, just an address, and the brakes going out in the car, getting there was an adventure in itself. In the city however, I did some things that I never have before.  We worked at a soup kitchen/pantry for homeless people with a group of muslims and jews, did open ministry at some parks, walked around Times Square, went to the Times Square church, and helped to clean at a pregnancy center. I was dragged out of my comfort zone a lot over those 4 days. It made me grow a little stronger in my own will and the will of God. He pushed me to take action and be bold and do what he tells me too. I talked to some people and prayed for them, and I don’t usually do that to strangers. It was really awesome to see a group of people go to a big city and care about the people there and try to make a difference, even if it might be a small one. It was awesome to see God provide for us financially and spiritually while we were there, and to see a little bit of the poverty, the brokeness, and the lost. You can’t leave that place with out having a softer heart then when you went in. So overall.  it was a really good time and I can’t wait to go back!
