Here is an overview of our first full day in New York City.
- Breakfast: At 7:30, Monica and Val had a breakfast of sausage, pancakes, and fruit prepared for us.
- Silence: After breakfast, each spent time in prayer, meditation, and silence.
- Worship: Nathan led us through one hour of singing and collective prayer.
- Refugee and Poverty Activities: The Center’s staff and interns orchestrated displacement and poverty simulators that placed us into the stories of families who were in the process of being displaced from their homes by conflict and affected by poverty.
- Randall’s Island: We spoke with and gave hats, gloves, and literature to people at a migrant encampment on Randall’s Island.
- Homeless Ministry: We packed lunches and traveled to Manhattan where Greg and Alex, are two men who routinely minister to people in Manhattan without homes, guided us through portions of the city where we could give the lunches to those who would benefit.
Here are a few pictures from our day.
