So if anyone was wondering where I’ve been all week and why I wasn’t posting anything, here is an explanation:  I helped lead a missions trip to Washington D.C. for a group of 13 high schoolers and 6 other leaders.  We worked in the neighborhood of Lincoln Heights.  Lincoln Heights is a community that is usually talked about alongside of drugs, poverty, and crime.  But it is a community that needs the hope of Jesus Christ just like everyone else.  Our group worked with a organization called DayBreak Ministries.  They own a duplex right in the very heart of Lincoln Heights.  Their vision is to bring the love of Jesus Christ to the kids and teens of the community.  And they are doing such an amazing job.  Our group helped out with their summer camp where they have 30 kids from 5 to 10 years old all day (9am to 3pm).  We also helped with various service projects around the community and also spent alot of time in prayer for the various churches and schools in the area.  It was really an amazing week.   This community is so rich in culture and heritage and for a long time it was forgotten.  I was able to see the small coffee shop where Marvin Gaye began began and refined his music.  It was unbeliavable.  My heart was really touched in a way it never has before.  God did such a number on my heart and I hope in the coming days and weeks I can fully share all of those things with ya’ll.
