"Feed500"


since my last blog,

New Wave Ski Retreat happened, Feed500 happened, bible study @ Pastor Stephen's happened, and now, i'm waiting to go to the UNITED concert on the 10th!~



school has been catching up as well~

working w. CHAMPION has been a blessing as well in it's own unique & weary way...

one of the students i "graduated" is coming to EMC w me this Sunday which is exciting!
Dominican catholic John Bowne student, who recently moved from Florida seeking community w aspirations in becoming an actor~
Praying he'd find purpose in his relationship w Christ to send him to new heights and adventures!
do yo thang God =)

my old friend Annie also came and visited my place w a whole bunch of other great friends i havent seen for a while =)

ne how,

i think one thing that stood out this week was my time @ Feed500'0'... going into Harlem with my team - Kenny, Aaron, & Marissa

some of us came back from a homeless missions in D.C., APPA, and it was still hard for some of us to approach some homeless or better yet finding them!

i was proud and encouraged to see the New Wave reaching out and praying it wouldn't happen only through programs like the NYC Urban Project (NYCUP), but in our everyday lives...

God calls us to care for the poor and needy and to "act justly, love mercy and walk humbly" w Him

something that stuck w me was the fact that poverty & homelessness can end in our generation...... think about it.

"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners..."

Thanks for sharing the pic at Bible Study JP! Hope Feed 500 was an awesome and blessed experience. We met Jonathan Walton a few weeks ago as a guest speaker. Do you know him? He leads NYCUP which also does FEED 500...
