As we drove to Bay Area Rescue Mission this morning, we had mixed emotions. We were excited to be there but also anxious for what the morning was going to look like. As we walked in, people immediately opened their hand and their hearts to us. We helped in the kitchen to make delicious chicken, potatoes, and corn for local families. We met many memorable people that were so happy that we were giving our most valuable asset....our time. We had people let us know how blessed they were to serve next to youth that loved Jesus. We were also able to help sort out notebooks for the school program that they host for broken families. Surprisingly, most of the paid staff that worked there were people that had gone through the program. One person told us that when people ask him "How he's doing" for the first time in years he can honestly look them in the eyes and say, "Never been better"......God is good.
After our day of serving and sharing our group headed downtown to visit Coit Tower and China Town! A great time was had by all and many fond memories have already been forged in our hearts and minds.
