World Trade Center, outreach and Alphabet City

Yesterday we took the day and went to the World Trade Center. Here we are waiting for our subway. (from left is Sharon, Tarrin, Chuck, Mark and Pastor Ralph) Mark joined us from Minnesota and Sharon joined us from New Orleans Wednesday night - it's been great roomies!

A lot of construction at ground zero and if you hadn't seen the Twin Towers you wouldn't know anything happened there. Amazing how short our memory is but also a testament to how life goes on.

Last nights street meeting was another great event. This church, and many others in the area, are living among the people they are trying to reach with the gospel. They are such a powerful witness because they have lived with them, gone through the same struggles and are able to tell them there is hope through Jesus Christ.

Today we visited Alphabet City - lots of very talented people which you can see in the street art. We visited Abounding Grace Ministries. Great group of people who are showing the love of Jesus to those living around them.

I can't seem to say it enough, but seeing people living what they believe is such a blessing. They aren't just saying what should happen - they are going out and doing it!
