Campus Minstry Events:
- UMW Spring Break 2007 - Homeless Ministry in Philadelphia
In March, 5 students got to know Philadelphia and it’s people. We cooked at shelters, brought food to men on the streets and learned about the challenges that some in the city face - poverty, violence, and substance abuse. We spent time in conversation and many times in prayer for the needs of the city and our world.
The experience that impacted us most deeply, though, was our time spent with the people of New Jerusalem, a community of recovering drug addicts. We were able to spend 4 days with them, joining them for Bible study on 1 Samuel and hearing the stories of where they’d been and how God had held them up. We were awed by their hospitality to us, a bunch of strangers.
We came back not only with a deep love for the people of New Jerusalem, but also with a renewed passion to be involved in our own small city of Fredericksburg. We’ve already gotten involved with Thurman Brisben and look forward to planning other ways to serve in our community next year. We hope you’ll join us!
