The Van Ride and what you can pray for us on Monday
Thank you for praying for us and keeping us close to your thoughts. The van ride went great. We rolled through the border and the only question they had was were the vans rented. We got into Toronto right at 5:00 -- unloaded and then squeezed into our rooms -- WOrkcamp style -- pictures tonight to prove it :)

We had some orientation meetings and then it was off to The Jerk - a Jamaican restaurant with some really great food -- Gary loved it!

After that we took the next 2 hours driving around in the city praying for the people and the issues they have -- poor, rich, hurting, etc...

We got back to the church in time to talk about MOnday and get to bed. Most people slept OK and we will be getting them up SOON!

Today -- Monday we will be serving in 2 homeless shelter and then serving in a disabled center where the center helps people with disabilities find a way to make some money. Tonight is an exciting night if the weather holds. We will be walking around on the streets for 2-3 hours pretending to be a 15 year old runaway with no money -- where would we find food, a job, shelter, a bathroom, etc... We will do this by following a map and seeing all aspects of the city.

The students don't know the schedule yet so you have the scoop.

Hope to post late tonight or tomorrow morning on their thoughts, feelings.

Hey 180

Brad 3:06am!!!!!!!!!

Loved the pictures. It really brought back good memories of Spring Break-DC except atleast the common area looks like you are in a nicer place to live. Hope the room are nicer than a church balcony with one measly shower.

Live, Love & Learn, there are lots of us in The Zoo and surrounds praying for you.

Give Gary and AJ all the worse jobs you can find(cleaning the toilets in the overnight shelters is a good start)and make Emily, Jasmine, Mindy and Caitlin get up extra early and serve everyone coffee in the mornings.

How many miles has Robin run?

Have a hoot you 33 wonderful people!

The Knights
