On the way to see our kids in SE Asia (Guest Post)

We made it to San Fran a little tired and very hungry as we went from dinner Thursday night to 3:00 pm Ohio time Friday afternoon without food as the airline didn't serve any meals, not even a snack. So when we arrived at the hotel and saw a Denny's next door, we joked that it looked like Hyde Park to our stomachs. It was the best Denny's food we ever ate.

 

When we heard that our students here in San Fran were serving a meal to the homeless, we decided we counldn't miss the opportunity to begin serving even at this point in the trip.  So we took a cab downtown and met up with with the team at Youth With a Mission.  It was great to see everyone from Grace!  I can't wait til they get back to Wooster and have a chance to tell everyone what this trip did for them because the students have grown by leaps and bounds in their spiritual lives.  

 

Nathan & Zac with homeless friend

It was so encouraging to see.  They are so excited to be here doing what they are doing! Zac joined Nathan at a table as hosts where they engaged in conversation with the hungry, homeless who sat at their table.  Val and I took orders, went to the kitchen to fill their plates, then served the people at the tables. We took the opportunity to talk to people too. 

 

The students then took time to pray for our trip.  What a blessing that was to us. Afterwards, the students had a debriefing meeting while Pastor Nick took us to get some dinner and catch a cab back to our hotel. It is now Saturday morning and in a few minutes we leave for the airport. Steve Knight is escorting Nathan to the airport to meet up with us. We will have a 12 hr 20 min flight to Seoul then a 5 hr 25 min flight to Cambodia.  We should arrive in Cambodia 10:00 am your time Sunday morning.

 

San Fran Team prays for Harley's

I want to thank everyone now for following us on the blog and praying for us.  We are bringing so many hugs with us from all of you to give to all the children, we can barely wait to give them out. Pray for the usual health and safety, but more so for the encouragement we can be to others and the love we can share from Christ.

 

God Bless All of You,
