Tuesday's outing (brrrr!)

Hey guys,

Dan, Katrine, Bethany, Caleb, and I had a great outing last night. We walked through the wind, snow, and ice -- okay, maybe not snow and ice, but it was REALLY cold and windy -- and we ended up at Triune to catch the last hour of Food for Life. We saw Kenny, Dr. Love, Lee, and some other friends, and Paul Blumer, the guy who heads up Food for Life, shared with us his heart for ministry with the urban poor. Kenny said that he has been waiting for us to return, and Dr. Love was happy to see us, and we want to be faithful to be there for them this semester.

We intentionally observed the different tendencies of the downtown culture, asking some of the questions in the previous post and listening for their answers. I would have posted some of our discoveries, but they are written in Caleb's secret notebook, which I do not have access to. I'm sure we will discuss them soon, and the Thursday outing will involve much of the same information-gathering process. It's exciting!

Keep praying,
Paul
