Our Dear American Family,
This is Part II of our update on our most recent service trip through the North and South Eastern US. Some highlights:
Jackson, MS - we partnered with the Mount Nebo Baptist Church to give away over 2 tons of water to families hurting in the February water crisis. We donated a U-Haul truck loaded to capacity with water and distributed the water in a human conveyor belt.
Selma, AL - We stopped at the Edmund Pettus Bridge to take time for prayer and meditation on the Anniversary week of Bloody Sunday. On March 7, 1965, John Lewis and Dr. Martin Luther King led over 600 marchers across this bridge in the war against racial injustice. The marchers were brutally attacked by armed police. Here, we met George Solis, a man who survived the attacks and recounted his journey to forgiveness in Jesus’ Name.
The photos below only give a snapshot of our day-to-day agenda. No single post or collection of pictures will ever adequately capture the depth or meaning of this solemn work. From the tear-filled conversations with Americans on their last financial ropes, to the derelict storefronts of businesses unable to survive the pandemic, to the beauty of folks from starkly different backgrounds coming together serve a greater purpose in Jesus, this service trip (like all others) shows just how much this work is needed.
Thank you for supporting us in Jesus’ Name.
Godspeed,
The Team at Help!ComeHome!
