Ambushed



This is the Christian Center Youth Group Core Leadership Team. They were ambushed by their Youth Pastor, Jason Bishop (in the middle). They were told only that they were "Going on a field trip." Without hesitation they cleaned the parkinglot, sidewalks, food pantry room and moved a huge old freezer up from the basement (pictures below). It would have taken Samaritan House staff and I a few hours to do what these guys did in just a half hour. Not to mention the ibuprofen I would have needed after wrestling with that freezer.


Pastor Jason is a man who has a heart for the lost and empathy for local homeless people. How refreshing to see these guys show up not even knowing they were coming here and just dive right in and do stuff. James chapter 2 talks about faith in action and instructs us to love others as we love ourselves. .......These guys get it.

Thank-you for doing what needs to be done to help people. It is nice to see that people still care about others, not just themselves.
