Today a group of us from my young adult Bible study went to serve the Lord in our own backyard. We partnered with Bethesda Mission to help hand out food and blankets to those in need.
Tangible first impressions and thoughts
1. Reminder of the great need here in Harrisburg (right in my backyard) - one of the places was less than a half a mile from my house....
2. We have it so incredibly good. I want to be thankful for God's amazing provision and being willing to share it with others generously.
3. It's all about relationships and partnering up with organizations who are doing things in Harrisburg.
4. Next time be prepared with more bottled water, long underwear, socks, t-shirts and gloves (so if you're donating, Bethesda is a great place to donate!) http://bethesdamission.org/donate/
Just some basic thoughts about this. I definitely desire to do this again. This type of stuff makes me excited and I really desire to see lives changed for Christ!
