Day Two..
I had a really good day today. I'm starting to get a better understanding of what Rick actually does and although it's definitley not limited to any one thing or any two things for that matter I definitley admire his passion for youth and his desire to see them come to faith. I also admire that after many years of ministry and the challenges and struggles that come with ministry he still plugs on as if it were his first day. Wow... so day two, I walked a million miles today and I met lots of new people. I spent the first part of my day hanging out at the shoebox place where a few kids came in for lunch- then I headed downtown where I spent the rest of the day walking the core downtown with Rick, meeting new kids. I think this is what I'm mostly going to be doing. "Street Prowl"....trying to build relationships with the kids. Rick has such a unique relationship with so many of the kids; they really do trust him. We spent a lot of time with a couple of people.. Rick tries to do everything he can to make life easier for the kids. We spent the morning at the shoe box working on birth certificate forms so one girl could go back to school, we took another guy to shoppers to buy supplies for his baby and then we took another guy to payless to buy shoes because his were falling off of his feet. I've come to realize that no day is going to be the same and that hopefully through meeting the needs of others and spending time with them they will meet Jesus. I'm learning. Pictures soon.
