Friday Evening
At Angels on Wheels I encountered a gentleman that was struggling with alcoholism. I offered to pray with or for him and he responded with the most genuine “Please pray for me.” It truly touched me.

I came here mostly thinking about me and I left with a love for the people I met. I will never forget. I would do this over tomorrow if I could.

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.

Friday Evening
A little girl held my hand at Hope Skate until I got steady on the skates. Her kindness was overwhelming. Her love unconditional! What a testimony to the Lord and caring about others!

Sunday morning…..
I was sitting in the back at Empty Tomb Church and there was a big guy next to me. When the offering plate passed by he looked up and said that he had nothing to give today. As he said it a few tears fell down his face… he was not crying because he had nothing, but because he could not give anything.
