I tagged along with our Youth Director, Charlie, and four of our Junior High youth to a rescue mission in Dothan, Alabama today. Our kids served lunch to a small group of homeless men and cleaned the kitchen and dining room and washed the dishes afterwards.
One 11 year old girl in our group said that she wants to go back next Saturday, apparently forgetting that next weekend our youth are going on a trip to the beach. Or maybe she didn't forget....
One highlight for us all was meeting one of the staff of the mission Mercy Zgambo and her three year old daughter Grace. These two are very aptly named. Mercy is a native of Malawi. How she ended up working at a homeless shelter in Dothan, Alabama, I do not know. I am sure there was some grace involved.
