It was our last full day at the Bowery today. We’ve been blessed by seeing the joy in others and hopefully bringing joy to them as well. We are so proud of our team and how they are working and listening to God’s leading this week. We have several new people speaking at chapel and some that didn’t think they would be challenged to speak. It’s awesome to see how God uses us in our weakness and how he uses it for his glory. We’ve also been challenged in how we see the world and

Our team is coming together and friendships are being strengthen as we work and laugh together. We are learning what it means to be flexible and able to serve in anyway at a moments notice. It can be crazy, but well worth it. We had the incredib
Day 1 and Day 2 - NYC Mission 2018
Day 1 - Saturday, March 3 With an early morning and a fairly easy time getting across the boarder, we were on our way to NYC! New friendships and many stops made for a perfect opportunity to learn more about each other as our team comes together. Time spent chatting, napping, and finding out our love languages made the long drive a bit better. We enjoyed seeing the city skyline on our drive into the city, a great time eating at Standard Burger, and seeing the Statue Liberty o
