Just a small seed...

Hi everyone! It's Jess here, due to Lorna being getting ready to go out.

So, yesterday was a fairly busy day; we started off serving at the Salvation Army centre in Knoxville. We were all involved in a variety of tasks, including serving food, shovelling pebbles and pairing up donated shoes. Everyone found the time spent there really worthwhile; it was a time to serve God while being able to unite together as a team. One of the things I noticed was that back when William Booth started the Salvation Army, his initial idea was just to preach to destitute people on the streets of London. Over a hundred years later, and a worldwide charity has been formed, helping and feeding thousands of people each day. I think this is just one example of how a seed can be planted by God and grow into something miraculous and amazing.

Right now, we're off to do 'Secret Service,' which is something of a suprise, followed by shopping, serving, and preparing food for a soup kitchen. This evening we're off to spend the night at the Barton's cabin in the montains, which means if we don't update tomorrow, no need to worry!

That's it for now...thanks for praying!

    Hi Everyone,
    This is brilliant being able to see exactly what the diary headings entail and the impressions you are making of the tasks you're set. I loved your comment jess on how a small seed is grown by God into a world wide movement. You are obviously having agreat time and I imagine your time in the cabin to-night will be very special. I haven't quite worked out the time zones so when I go to bed to-night I will be imagining you all under the stars and being awed by the mountains and God's creation.
    lots of love and prayers Heather Y
