I bet you are thinking....Hmm I wonder what Brit is learning about ministry and life and Jesus? Well, to sum it up in one word. Toliets. Yep, I clean on average 7 toliets a week. So if you wanted a little insight into my world you might think again. ha, I'm only half kidding, because walking with Jesus is WAY more awesome than that, but I really do clean toliets every day.
Besides the big white bowls, right now each of us interns (I am one of 4 other guys) are focusing on a specific part of what we're doing here at West Ridge. We are installing Air Conditioning Units in flats around the neighborhood (its getting humid), car washes on the street, community meals with the neighborhood (all for free, which most people are having a hard time understanding). I am putting together a kids day for some fun times with the kids in the neighborhood, then there are hospitality visits in the neighborhood, homeless hangouts in the neighborhood....are you getting the neighborhood vibe? ha, yea, things are really moving forward the past few days. People are being loved and seeing Jesus.
Oh and both our offerings and attendance have almost doubled since we started doing House Churches. Not that anything has been easy, because it takes a lot of intentional time being open and real with yourself, God, and others. But this I have seen, God is faithful, and you gotta truck through the hard stuff when you feel as flat as a pancake to know that God is in control and He is drawing us all to Himself one day at a time. We will see the Kingdom of God here on earth, I know we will.
Keep praying for us!
