Day 4: Mission Work in Denver

This morning our students got a little treat by being able to sleep in, but once we hit the road at 9:00 a.m. we had a full day ahead of us.  We traveled to the Salvation Army Silvercrest Residence Center where our students performed a wide variety of tasks.  As you can see from pictures below, our students served meals, cleaned, weeded gardens, and shared in music with the residents there.  Our students did a tremendous job in serving and interacting with the senior adults at this location.  It is such a blessing to have such conscientious students who love the Lord and are willing to go the extra mile in serving.

After a few hours of down time at the hotel, we then traveled into downtown Denver where we led in a chapel service at the Denver Rescue Mission.  This nightly chapel service is part of the requirements for those homeless men who will stay the evening at the shelter.  The crowd was very enthusiastic and encouraged the students to give their absolute best.  Our program there was the highlight of the tour for many of our students.

On our way home, we ate dinner at Gunther Toody’s, a 50’s styled diner.  The food was great and our students had a great time singing, dancing, and playing around.  We arrived back at the hotel around 9:30, had our sponsor-led devotions, and hit the sack.

Tomorrow we will travel south of dinner to work at a Baptist retreat center and then share our music with Mississippi Avenue Baptist Church.  Please continue to pray for the safety and unity of our group.
