On the road to Ottawa
I returned Tuesday night from my time in Ottawa to visit our Praxis mission trip. Here's how God answered our prayers.
For opportunities to serve and care:
I got to chauffeur students and staff to different ministry activities as well as their mid-point retreat.
I especially enjoyed helping one of the trip directors with transportation and childcare needs.
For good connections and conversations:
I enjoyed a house dinner with the girls house one night.
I got to have one on one conversations with all the staff during the retreat.
I had great conversations while hiking and driving with the team.
For opportunities to experience ministry activities:
I joined the team for - 1) a prayer walk in a park that sees a lot of addiction activity and homelessness, 2) running a service for low income seniors, 3) learning about creation care and doing a hike in the Gatineau Hills.
For safety:
I drove over 1000 km without incident.
Wallenstein, thanks so much for your partnership that enabled me to visit this mission trip. I came home encouraged by how God is at work in the lives of the student participations broadening their understanding of what it means to live on mission and be involved in his kingdom work.
