Our small group, kids and all, worked at the Agape House. It is a house for foster children and a ministry for those sometimes forgotten children. We did yard work, and home maintenance work. Joe even got to use a chainsaw, he still has all of his fingers even! It wasn't too glamorous, but Gods work isn't always.
We all met at the church parking lot to be "commissioned" and to get last minute instructions. My favorite quote from our pastor that morning was: " Repeat after me. Today is not about ME." He also reminded us to "look" for Jesus in the little things and the people we saw.
There were many projects, some in dangerous areas, some ran a marathon to raise money and awareness for an agency! There was something for everyone, and it was done over 2 days one weekend. Enjoy the few pictures I have.
