Simple math…simple addition…not so simple when planning an event. This week we have Mission:Anderson, an opportunity for our current 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students to minister to the Anderson community. During these four days we are going to spend time learning what it means to serve others by doing various projects in the Anderson area!
On Sunday, we had 45 students signed up. On Monday morning at the end of check-in, we had 70 students ready to rock and roll. After some scrabbling to get an extra van, we were ready. By the way, what an awesome problem to have…more and more students wanting to serve their community! We had two groups serve at the Boys & Girls Club of Anderson and Anderson Interfaith Ministry (AIM). Both groups finished earlier than expected, so we were again scrambling to find work for them to do in a mission to serve the community.
Needless to say, it was HOT today! The average high for august is 89 degrees. Today the temperature was a whopping 98 degrees with 35% humidity. It is not expecting to set any easier for us on a mission to serve Anderson…we are expecting 99 degree weather. Check out the information here. We will be hot, but honestly…it is hotter in hell. (Speaking of Hell, please go and watch the service from this past week. Awesome, great, exciting! You will be surprised!) Also, who said serving was a easy thing to do…sometimes serving take commitment and a little bit of extra effort. Please pray for us as we endure the heat. Peace!
Alden,
I just want to say I absolutely love the MISSION ANDERSON thing. Way to go you guys are awesome and know I am still praying for IGNITE like crazy and still miss being there in that.
