Bridge of Hope can hardly believe yet another youth group has come to serve!!! This one came as a surprise blessing when all their plans fell through serving at a homeless shelter in the city. Pastor Mike from Real Life Church of the Nazarene in Portage, Indiana found the Bridge of Hope website and saw that we were a city church new start and gave Shawen a call. SO, as of thursday of last week we were their new location! God crossed our paths and we are so excited. Watching them interact with our neighborhood kids from their first step out of their vehicles to praying and caring for the needs of those experiencing hard times. More touches for the kingdom!
The youth group and leaders were able to hit a Cardinals game yesterday (the hottest day of the summer so far) before attending service with us. We cooked up 200 hamburgers and fellowshipped with the community. With the 39 of them we had 91 in service and what a celebration it was. Worship, communion, and a very special prayer time started this mission week off right! Bridge of Hope stands amazed at yet another giving youth group and a great God we serve!
The night ended with a trip to Ted Drewe’s and that included anybody in the neighborhood that we could stuff in our vehicles. All of our Bridge Kids were so happy and loved the “field trip” with all those teenagers.
We can’t wait to see what this week will hold so keep an eye on the website for updates!
Please pray for protection, health, and God’s hand on this group.
