Urban Plunge

Saturday Afternoon

I talked with some people at “Mission for All Nations” and I realized how often we aren’t happy when we don’t things the way we want. However, these people have so little in comparision and yet they were all so happy and thankful for what they do have.

I feel called to do something for the children- specifically a diaper drive for Mission For All Nations. As I was talking with the coordinator, she said they never have enough to give away for the needs out there and I can’t imagine a baby without clean diapers.

Saturday Afternoon

I was impacted by the way Mission For All Nations was able to keep going when it seemed impossible to. They found $3,000 in a wall by accident. What a great reminder that God will find a way. It reminded me that God’s will, will prevail.

Saturday Afternoon

When I was picking up trash around the block at Mission For All Nations, I saw a man digging through the dumpster. And that started to make me think of stuff I could do to help them. Even simple things like giving them leftovers from a restaurant.

Saturday Evening

While helping at the food pantry I was chatting with a volunteer. I asked what group she was with. She gave me a strange look and said, “I’m here for the food, aren’t you?” It was then it hit me, she could have lived in my neighborhood. How many people do I daily interact with that are hungry and hurting and I didn’t notice. God really opened my eyes.

Saturday Afternoon

At Mission For All Nations a young woman came up to me while volunteering, and asked if she could volunteer to help her family. Our conversation continued on to a discussion of her tragic situation. But the woman was hopeful and grateful for what she had been given; life, family, food, ect.

Saturday Afternoon

Write down an encounter at a ministry that impacted your life….

When a man at the food pantry, Mission For All Nations, said that I helped him live for another week and all I did was put his food in a car.

Saturday Afternoon

Seeing a line already formed before our group even arrived at Mission For All Nations (a food pantry) caused me to realize all over again that I wasn’t reading a story about people in need, but seeing it right in front of me. I couldn’t ignore reality.

Saturday Afternoon

I met a family from Iraq at the food pantry, Mission For All Nations, and welcomed them to the U.S.  I got to visit with them and practice my little bit of Arabic.  Who would have thought….
