This summer PROXY has decided to serve our city for the entire summer through different events. INstead of taking an entertainment trip we are taking a three month missions trip to our cities, Cedar Falls and Waterloo. A few months prior to the summer we studied the book of Nehemiah. Nehemiah loved Jerusalem, his city, and longed to and worked hard to see it restored and put back together. We had the students bring only one cardboard box and one can food item that Tuesday evening. They of course had no idea what was happening. We then told them they were staying the night outside and had only that box and that food to last them through the evening. The night was perfect, beautiful weather. The next morning we went and served breakfast to the assisted living home, where I work. After breakfast they painted the ladies nails. Then for lunch they traveled to the salvation army to serve the homeless lunch. It turned out to be very impactful for them. They all were texting and messaging us afterwards of how it opened their eyes to many things and they were super grateful that we did it. And they did AMAZING!! I was super proud. They jumped right in there and went to work. I look forward to our many more missions projects this summer. Jesus is doing BIG things here in the Cedar Valley. We honored to be a part.
