Our Wednesday opened with our usual personal quiet time to reflect and process the trip as well as Scripture and prayer.
Afterwards, groups went out to serve in their service projects, continuing to build relationships with kids at the Andrew Jackson Boys and Girls Club and Project Transformation (a community-oriented summer day camp for children and youth from low-income neighborhoods). One group had the opportunity to visit Loaves and Fishes, a soup kitchen for people experiencing homelessness.
In the afternoon, some of our groups served at Halfway House, a ministry for people recovering from addiction, as well as N.I.C.E., the aforementioned ministry for serving new immigrants and refugees.
Last night we had our night off where we went downtown to the famous Wild Horse Saloon, a 3-story music restaurant and music venue in the heart of Nashville. Students bonded with each other’s groups, enjoyed food and attempted to learn line dancing! After our trip downtown we capped off the night with an extended worship session, finishing with prayer and reflection. It is incredible to watch God move in and through all of our students!
Thanks to all the parents that were able to come to the prayer meeting. Please continue to pray for us as we serve Nashville.
