Today was another step forward in our ministry as we were able to move a number of our clothes and canned food to Trinitea's Cup where we host our drop in as well as our Thursday night outreach to struggling folks. It is nice to have things in a central location.
In order to do the moving I needed some help and my help came in the form of Jerry. It was nice to spend some time with him and to give him a chance to give back a little bit. Sometimes it feels like we give to him without return but today he was able to help just a bit. I know he felt good being able to assist.
During the day today I had a neat conversation with a couple of young ladies I have known for some time. As we got talking they asked about what I was doing now. I was able to share about my pastoral ministry, my COI ministry and of course the Boaz ministry. As I began to share with them my heart for this ministry they were quick to express their gratitude for this type of ministry.
We also discovered that we are all trying to help the same type of people. Teens that are at risk is on their hearts. One is a police woman who works with young offenders and the other is a mental health counselor with a focus on teens and children. We saw how we could all work together to help out hurting teens.
My favorite thing about ministry is that you never know what your day will bring. Sometimes those days are filled with challenges and some days with blessings. I love how God takes a day like today and advances this ministry further along. His timing is wonderful!
