Yesterday was our first Sunday afternoon at Focus: HOPE. We had over two dozen students and adults venture down to the Focus: HOPE campus in Detroit to make some new friends. While there were not a lot of children this first time, I feel like we made an impact on the children and adults that were there.
During our time there, we were able to share a meal, play some games, and build relationships. In the months ahead, I am hopeful that the numbers will grow and we will be able to meet more children from inner-city Detroit. But one thing I have learned in ministry, is that numbers aren't the most important thing. If we are able to make a positive impact on the life of one child, our trip has had value.
I am looking forward to developing an on-going relationship with the children and adults at Focus: HOPE. As we seek to live out Jesus-shaped lives, this is a great opportunity to live out our faith. And in the process, we can show the love of Jesus to those we encounter.
shine!
