Homeless Plunge and High Places

Today was another full day but Homeless plunge was the majority of it. We left YWAM at around 7:00 and could not come back until 3:00. Our team took off to hit various parks. We tracked up the hill...YIKES! We got a glimpse of The Golden Gate Bridge and right before Lumbars Street, Jordan wanted to walk through the park across the street, so we did. That is when we met Orion from the post below. God was tugging on our hearts!

After time with Orion, and some debriefing from it, we went to Lumbars Street and had some fun! Then we took off for the pier and beach areas. We spent a lot of time there, reflecting, journaling, and a special treat, I handed out a letter to each student that their parents secretly wrote. They all went off on their own for a while to reflect on life back home! We did a lot of walking, talking and connecting! We handed out a few lunches and really the time went pretty fast.

After a short time back at YWAM, we took off for High Places. We hiked back up the hill to Grace Cathedral for some teaching time from Nick, some time of reflection on what our" High Places" are. What is it we put as more important than God? What idol is it we worship Monday through Friday, before we come into church all happy and cheerful! After that, we went outside to reflect on that and I had the privilege of chatting with and praying for several of our young ladies, and I spent time praying for each student and what God was stirring in their lives! It was amazing! We spent time in worship as well, in the courtyard of the cathedral.

We got some photos of our students that recently graduated (at the fountain) and those that are upcoming Seniors! We have a great group and I am just praying for their leadership and encouragement of the underclassmen!

Tonight we spent some time as a street team having dessert and doing a little shopping followed by some very powerful time as a whole team encouraging and praying for each other!

I am exhausted again, so I am off to bed! Tomorrow will be more time on the streets meeting people and working in a local food bank! Thanks all for your prayers!
