Wednesday Recap

We kicked off the day with devotions and then headed over to Bright Hope Ministries. Bright Hope is a non-profit organization that works with contacts in nine countries to provide whatever needs are brought to their attention. Their main focus is to bring hope to families that live off of less than one dollar a day.  When we arrived, we got a tour of their facility and an explanation of who they are and why what we were going to do was important. We split up into four groups and headed off to our specific projects.  Our group spent the day organizing and sorting a variety of donations into their specific categories. This enabled Bright Hope to send care packages to the countries. Some of us took inventory of the items in the warehouse in order to donate the necessary items to other organizations. We also worked outside to make their landscape even more beautiful by pulling weeds and adding mulch to the flowerbeds. Our team worked so efficiently that by the end of the day, our students and leaders began cleaning the facility. Bright Hope is an inspiring organization and we can't wait to go back on Friday! We came back to the hotel, cleaned up, hung out for a bit, and headed to the mall for dinner. We kicked off team debrief at Madison Meadow Park with some awesome acoustic worship. Then we had chance to share some stories from the day with the team. Back at the hotel we had some free time, including an awesome jam session with Brandon and Riley. Be sure to listen for the one-hit-wonder, "World's Finest Chocolate, How Ya Doin' Today?"  We headed to bed soon after because tomorrow's too good to waste tonight!!
