Summer Assignment

The group welcoming Lydia after she spent the night stuck in Dallas.

I have been given my summer assignment! I will be working at the Gano Mission Center. There are 14 missionaries here. I am working with Noemi from Texas, Lyndsey from Illinois, Christopher from Puerto Rico and Kieth from Louisiana. Daniel (PR), Viviana (TX), Lydia (AR) and Josh (OH) are at Fletcher and Jonathon (PR), Christa (FL), Kieley (TN), Morgan (LA) and Angie (SC) are at Joy. As you can see, we are from all over.

Gano only has food ministry. We have kids club, teens club, and pre-teens club. Monday mornings we plan for the week and in the afternoons we go to Moody Park to play with the kids; hopefully they will want to come to kids club afterwards. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays we interview people for food ministry. We get a lot of homeless people and single mothers. We also get mothers whose husbands spend their money on the wrong things. For example, we did a prayer walk the other day. Some of the houses look like they are barely standing, but they have cars that are not even two years old in the driveways. On Thursdays we have our senior ministry. The come and play dominoes and do arts and crafts. Critters just hang out with them and eat lunch with them. Two ministers come and preach for half an hour each, one in English and one in Spanish. Gano also has a lawn care ministry; I do not believe that I will be a part of that.
I am the food pantry assistant for Gano. I will help load the food truck, take it to Joy, and then bring it to Gano. I will unload the food in the food pantry, keep it organized, and distribute the food to the people that we interview. Also, I am a teacher at kids club. I am teaching ages 6 and 7. Please pray for me in both ministries so that I can glorify God through all of it. No one leaves Gano without hearing the Gospel.Lyndsey, Me, Kieley and Christa after Gano Block Party.
