Boston Project Destiny

So yesterday I had a really cool opportunity. I got to visit the Boston Project Ministries in Dorchester, MA! I got to see Esther, Keith, Liz, Nathan, and Meghan! It was really awesome to see how they're doing and what they're up to, especially since I hadn't seen Meghan or Liz in a really long time. I also got to meet the rest of their team which was super fun because they had such a lively, tight-knit, and diverse group. It was so different from what Project Destiny has been like. (Not that PD has been bad!)

Nathan and Meghan!

Keith, their director, let me sit in on their debriefing/prep meeting and we were asked to answer two questions. One of them was "How have you been able to see God's love?" And as I was sitting there, I felt an overwhelming sense of God's love because recently, I had been stuck in a 'PD bubble' where everything and everyone around me was all about PD. But being able to see another ministry and how God is also at work there made me realize how big He is but also how personal He is. It was incredible to see just the way He provides for them and how He carefully handpicked that team in the same way that He picked the PD team. It made me realize that God is such a big God and that He's not limited to what I'm doing this summer. In fact, He's doing work all over-- in Boston, Indiana, Illinois, Jamaica, Haiti.... He loves and cares for all of us, no matter what we're doing, and where we're at. God's love is all around!

Anyway, if you're from CBCGL and you're reading this-- (er, probably not), don't forget to pray for the LYFers this week! Pray that God will change them through this and that they can gain more knowledge on poverty in the city and that they'll really know what it means to serve the poor.

Well, just entered into my second week of PD. Definitely been learning a lot and seeing the ways in which God really provides. More on that at a later time... Thanks for all the support and prayers!
