So, here I am, living in New York City.
This is day 149 for me. And I am loving every moment of it.
New York is one of the most interesting cities that I have ever lived in. It is definitely my favorite city of all time! I have always wanted to come here, and to be able to come here and be a part of the greatest ministry, the Dream Center, makes it that much better!
It is a rather interesting city to do ministry in, though! There are so many people here, and we want to reach them all! We are doing a lot of things, going into the city, handing out fliers, talking to people, and trying to build relationships. One of the biggest challenges we are facing right now is the weather! Man, is it cold out here! But that means that people are not just walking around for fun. They are on a mission! So now we are being more creative, and we will be carrying out our new ideas soon! We love a good challenge, so this is a great city to be in!
It is so awesome to see how churches have unified with the Dream Center out here. They are really supportive, sending out support, and volunteers. We have tech people, band members, ushers, and many other volunteers coming from other churces to help us out! They go to their church on Sunday, and do their thing, and then they are committed on Monday nights to volunteering for the Dream Center! It's so amazing how God has been working!
I met 2 young ladies this past Monday night, and they are so excited about what is happening through the Dream Center! They are 20 years old, and they are from some of the projects out here. They LOVE the church! They talked to me for about 20 minutes, telling me how to get into the projects to meet people, and the best places to go to reach out to people. They are so committed! It's so awesome, and very encouraging to see people so excited, and especially since they are so young! It's so exciting! I'll be having lunch with these two ladies later this week to really get a game plan down.
So, that is a little of what is going on right now. Please, pray for creativity for the team out here! Things are going so well! I will keep you posted!
Until next time, this is Sondra Walker, signing out!
