Last Full Day...

Our last full day of Momentum was filled with joy and happiness. As of last night, we found out our service project and were super excited to find out that we were going to the Community Action Partnership in Inner-City Dayton. We were so excited to find out that we were going to give out 500 bags of food to the needy and homeless of Dayton!

As we pulled up, the excitement was building as we saw the people in line waiting for food. It was exciting to know that they didn't just get one bag of food, but two. As we got into our positions, we were eager to start. As the line starting coming, it was amazing to see the smiles on the people's faces as they picked up their bags of food.

Sometimes you go in to something like this and your goal is to be a blessing to people, but in my case, I was blessed by others.

I met a guy by the name of Mr. Thomas. He recently got ran over by a vehicle at his work and has congestive heart failure. The doctor said he would not walk for 6-8 months. Mr. Thomas told me that he prayed to God and it's been 2-3 months since his surgeries and he is walking with no problem! This man was in such high spirit's that it was out of control!

Another woman named Leona (I don't know if I spelled that right) came to our truck and as we gave her the food and prayed with her she told us that we made her morning. Things have been tough, but she said we made her day! How exciting is that!

I also got to pray with another man who was living in a homeless shelter because he lost his job and lost his apartment. He finally took a step and found an apartment and is looking for a job. The man seemed very determined to complete his task and we prayed together and asked God to provide and the man said that he knows God will come through.

Many stories, many people, many lives touched for God. Thanks so much for praying!
