HERE IS ANOTHER UPDATE FROM KATHRYN AND THE QUARRY INTERNS:
Today we worked with two outreaches Under the Bridge in the morning & afternoon and Hope For Homeless Youth in the evening.
In the morning we went down to Skid Row and walked around to invite people to a hot meal later in the day. We passed out candy bars and information about their bus pick up for church on Thursdays and Sundays. As we walked we were able to get to know people and encourage them to come to the meal so we could have the opportunity to talk to them more.
When we returned after lunch we set up the hot meal. Some of us served the food and others walked around to pray and talk with people. The Under the Bridge feeding program goes to this particular area in Skid Row twice a week. We met a few people who were on fire for God. One lady in particular quizzed us in Bible trivia and actually knew quite a bit about the Bible. Another woman was encouraging all of us as we prayed in a circle after lunch. It was really neat to see how thankful everyone was for the free meal.
After dinner we teamed up with Hope For Homeless Youth and went down to the Santa Monica area to invite people to the pier for dinner. Clayton was able to share his testimony over the PA system with all of the homeless people who had gathered. Quite a few people came up to him and shared how impactful it was. Rex prayed with a gentleman for safety and health and he was moved to tears while Rex was talking with him. Hannah, Tim & Trevor met a man, and a woman who was two months pregnant and they were able to help them come back to the Dream Center to stay at the emergency shelter.
Overall it was a great second day of ministry! We are excited for our final day tomorrow. We’ll be working with the Food Truck & Metro Kids Outreaches.
Love you all,
The Interns & Kathryn
