Tonight in Youth Group, we got to hear from a long time member of our church, Marty Baylor who, while in her Sophomore year in college, participated in a homeless exercise for 3 nights and 4 days. We usually have quite a loud and rowdy group, but they were really interested in hearing what Marty had to share. She helped the youth understand a bit more what it feel like to be homeless. We learned about the isolation, the mocking and the different physical issues Marty faced while doing this for only 4 days. Imagine what it must be like to be homeless for years.
We made a craft thing that can be hooked on a zipper on a tent, jacket or whatever. This craft has 6 different colored beads that tells the salvation story. We are planning on giving these out when one of our adults teaches a Bible study while we are serving at the Center on Monday. I can't wait to see how this goes.
We also assembled meals for our delivery on Thursday. We will be doing a later delivery to let youth who live outside the county or have after school activities a chance to participate.
I am hoping to see the lady in the median again, and two others I have not seen in weeks. We will see what happens.
