Here I Am / 09.25.07, 08:29 AM
It’s taken a few weeks, but we’re finally starting to get to business here in Camden.
I came to Philly three weeks ago and spent a week getting to know the other team leaders and Caz, our city director. It was a wonderful time. Once the rest of our housemates came, we took a trip to a farm outside of Atlanta where we camped for a week and had some orientation with all of the Mission Year team members and staff from across the country. I loved my time there and I’m confident that I’ll be processing what I learned there for months and years to come.
I’ve been in Camden about a week. We’re actually still looking for a house, so we’re staying at a house on the campus of Urban Promise (www.urbanpromiseusa.org) while Mission Year, Urban Promise and folks from our church work their tails off trying to find us a permanent home in North Camden.
We’re still going through training, but we’re all going to be working at after school programs starting Monday and by October, we’ll be settling into our other community service sites and falling into our patterns and routines for the year.
It’s amazing so far.
Everyday has been an invitation to follow Jesus.
I pray that I’ll continue to accept.
Please pray for me too.
