We started off our week of ministry today by serving at Feed My Starving Children. We got to learn about the mission of this organization and hear stories of the children whose lives have been impacted by the food they provide. We were excited to jump in and help pack food, hair nets and all!

We had a great time packing food at Feed My Starving Children today! It was not only a fun team experience but also an opportunity to bless children in need around the world.

Everyone worked so hard on their projects today! We had people organizing the kitchen, fixing chairs, and doing lawn work. We got several complements on how the lawn now looks and our partners were very excited about the progress.

Part of our team got to spend the day serving at Hospitality House again. With great teamwork and God's grace, we were able to finish both closet organization projects. Olivia and Nathan did a great job organizing the games! We are excited because these spaces will now be much more usable for this ministry.

Part of our group served with our wonderful host, Andover Christian Church, prepping for VBS and tackling a new project... Clearing the overgrown volleyball court!

Everyone can find a way to serve here at PPM, even if that is deflating the extra air mattresses!

We had the privilege this morning of partnering with both Andover Christian Church and Shiloh Temple International Ministries through an outreach event called "Burgers and Blessings." We set up outside and invited people to come for free food and prayer. We got to serve 150 people, and everyone who came was prayed over before they left. We had an amazing time meeting people, hearing their stories, and lifting them up to our Heavenly Father.

After spending the afternoon exploring Minneapolis and enjoying some relaxation, we got to end our day by worshiping together and reflecting on the week. It was so encouraging to hear how everyone has been impacted this week as God has been moving. It's hard to believe that tomorrow we go home, but we are eager to share what we've experienced and to continue serving at home.
Thank you to Chris and Phoebe for leading us in worship this week!

These three men worked incredibly hard all week to fulfill a wish that Shiloh Temple is working so hard to achieve; tiling a shower for the church. This added resource would be used to bless those in the community. While there's some work to go for plumbing and electric, they worked tirelessly to prepare the rest of the stall! Thank you Kyle, John, and Mike!

We got to end our trip by joining our partner church in their Sunday morning worship service. It was a delight to meet members of the congregation and worship together! Now it's time to head home, but we look forward to continuing to serve the Lord wherever we are.
