2010 Summer Intern Blogs

Saturday July 24th, 2010:

I impacted lives. I did more than I'll ever know. We as a team poured our hearts on the battle field, and God was all over that place. I will never, ever forget that day. Those kids that we ministered to may have felt true love for the very first time; over 700 families that received  groceries will never walk into that park the same, ever again. All this for a KING. Once again, I'll repeat- All this, for a King. God smiled upon us that day, but more importantly, he used us as vessels for a greater purpose; to advance His kingdom, and spread his love among the nations.

I think it's only wise to start with your own- for He's called us to love our neighbors. Why not think of America as a nation in need? There were thousands of people who came in contact with the gospel on Saturday, and though they may not have received Jesus that day, they heard our voices. They felt our hearts. They knew something was different when they walked into that park that day. I wasn't expecting my heart to break so intensely, but God broke it. He did what I asked Him to do. My heart is still in Washington Square Park, Syracuse NY. I don't think I'll ever get it back.
