Ministry

Every Thursday we go to serve in the community or contribute in some way.

The first place that we went was to the recycling facility in San Rafael. We helped move and sort cardboard, newspaper, and all sorts of random things that should not have been recycled. I praise God for protecting us in here as we came across used syringes and the like.

The second Thursday that we helped set in place a barrier for a path at a school that provides a good bilingual Biblical based education for children that might not be able to afford such education. This consisted of digging a trench along the path to lay some tree branches in and serve as a barrier to prevent much from sliding down onto the path from the hill.

Today we went on a prayer walk throughout the neighborhood. As a group we prayed for the Holy Spirit to guide us as we prayed for the community. We walked in silence for about an hour praying individually, and then as a group as we felt lead. God is so awesome! At first I had my doubts as to whether or not anything would actually come of this, but as I passed different houses, God revealed to me different things to pray for. In the end we came together to share what God had placed on our hearts to pray for, and it was very interesting finding out that we were lead to pray about similar things for certain areas. As we walked back to the base, clear shimmering water ran through the normally dirty and clouded gutter on the side of the road. It was a symbol of what God is doing in this community, His spirit is most definitely moving!
