Day 1 of work

All of the Youth and adults got to see their first working action of the week today. Three of the work crews wound up at the same location this week, the New Wineskins Ministry which serves as a food/clothing bank. This food bank serves 50,000 families every month, and they're only open on Thursdays! We spent a large part of the day folding and sorting through clothes that had come in from a clothing drive that the church held on Saturday.

We also helped to unload and repack large quantities of frozen bread and creamed corn. We then sorted through several pallets of toiletries and a large pallet of bottles drinks. We've just begun to scratch the surface of all of the items that we'll sort through this week before the public is allowed to come in and select items on Thursday. 

The director of the organization, Reverend David prayed with us and help us to understand how much we were helping the people of Indianapolis, but also how much we would be served in the process. How we would see the face of Jesus in the people we meet. How handing someone food when they need it will change us forever. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the week, and I know the Youth are too.

Blessings,
