Mercy Ministry madness
Day 280 - Mar 24
It’s right in the middle of March Madness, and although I’m not watching ANY basketball games (except the ones that Ryan watches, if I am paying attention) I did have a great March Madness experience at Mercy Ministry today. Once a month our team has been regularly serving during the day at Mercy Ministry on the last Tuesday of the month. It’s such a different experience than when I serve on Monday nights, because I am able to interract directly with the clients. The director, Jules, let me step into her role as the greeter today and I had a ton of fun. The greeter hooks up the clients with volunteers who will pray with them, then makes sure they get the groceries they need and helps manage the waiting list for getting clothing. I talked to so many people today and even was able to practice my spanish-speaking skills. We had an amazing group of volunteers there working together and it was a busy but very rewarding day. Some changes are in the works at Mercy Ministry and while I am hopeful and confident about God’s control of the situation, I am prayerful that I will still get to take part in the great things that are happening at Mercy.
