Mission Akron:Day 2
Today was a lot of work. Both ministry and labor. We spent the morning hours at Grace Park in downtown Akron. Its across the street from the Haven of Rest. A lot of homeless and down and out souls that need to hear the hope that we have in Christ and the love that He gives. We handed out free doughnuts and coffee to whoever came by and took some time to minister to them. We also took trash bags and cleaned up the entire park. Just like yesterday, our students worked hard and cleaned up that place like new! At around 10am we sang a few worship songs and gave an invitation. A few people stuck around to talk further. God definitely moved through the park and through our students.
We ate lunch on the bus, and then headed out to the COMPASS Center that is run by True North Ministries for mentoring juvenile delinquents. We painted about 4,000 feet of fence over about 4 hours! We had a cookout with burgers and hotdogs and headed back to ABT for devotions, showers and preparations for tomorrow.

5 Day Clubs start tomorrow. Please pray for good weather, safety and favor with the people we encounter.
