Well, we've completed day 3 of ministry here in NYC. We are just getting settled from a long, hot, and awesome day! This morning we spent quite a bit of time at the West African Center, painting and helping with other fixer-upper type projects. After lunch, we took the subway to Manhattan, where we toured the Islamic Cultural Center for a couple of hours. We had quite an interesting lecture from the Imam at the ICC, and it was an educational experience. We are so grateful for the hope that we have in Christ and eager to share that hope with those we meet. After our time in Manhattan, we headed back to Brooklyn for dinner and then to the West African Center for more ESL classes. The West Africans that we've been working with are so eager and enthusiastic about learning; they make are job exciting. :) Overall, our team is doing great. We have had no issues, thus far. Today was HOT. Like 98* kind of hot. That was a good stretch for our attitudes and actions. James and I were both proud of the students and how well they've done working without complaining. We are blessed!
Please pray for these things:
*Cooler weather
*Continued physical health
*Positive attitudes
*Endurance and strength
*Ministry opportunities and boldness to act on them :)
Here are a few photos from today's adventures.
We hope you all are doing well and having a great week! Thanks for all of your prayers. We will continue to update you again tomorrow night. On Thursday's agenda: neighborhood evangelism around the South Asian Center in Queens, After School Kids Club at the West African Center in Brooklyn, ending with more ESL classes at the West African Center. Talk to you soon!
Blessings,
Jessie
