Friday Night
At the Hope Skate I met a young kid. He was really cool and energetic and really on fire for God. He talked about God and Jesus a lot and you could tell he was going to be a great guy in Christ.

I really enjoyed the prayer walk through a broken neighborhood in Omaha. I saw the faces of children that did not have a choice to live in those circumstances. It just made me realize the power of prayer and how God could transform that community trough prayer.

Friday Evening
I went to the Francis house not knowing what to expect. I was nervous. I got completely blown off by the first guy I was told to talk to. Then I met Tony. His faith and optimism should be an example to all. He ministered more to me than I ever could have to him.

Saturday Evening
When we were on the prayer walk, God really broke my heart over all the people in the neighborhood lost in the hopelessness of poverty, drugs, prostitution, etc. From this and visiting Abide Network, my passion to help these kind of people grew. I don’t know what God wants me to do with this passion right now, especially because I live in a very affluent town. For now, I know I need to be praying for God to show me opportunities.

I did not know what to expect our Jr. Highers were going to get out of this weekend, but Jesus really broke their hearts for these ministries. And I believe our students have been stirred up to minister to those around them.

Saturday Afternoon
What impacted you the most? Talking to George at the retirement center who empowered me as I left our beautiful conversation. He said “Keep doing what you are doing, God is there for you.”

Friday Evening
Meeting with the homeless at Angels on Wheels was definitely out of my comfort zone. But talking with Gabe, my eyes were opened to the desperation of his circumstances. He shared his story with us and I could see that he just wanted someone to listen. Giving him that time made him feel valued, and it opened my eyes to the reality of homelessness.
