Home Missions Trip to Nashville

The Home Missions team had the great opportunity to spread the word of God in the city of Nashville. On the first day of the trip, we helped with the Bridge Ministry by serving food, leading people to their seats, and helping with any basic needs. We participated with the ministry in a church service under a bridge in downtown Nashville for homeless people. The next day, we served lunch to homeless men at the Nashville Rescue Center. After lunch, we went to four different areas in Nashville and prayed for all the lost people, the local churches, and the community as a whole. Then, we went to the Kirkpatrick Center and learned a skit that we performed that night at the Nashville Rescue Center. The head of On-the-Go Ministries taught us how to talk to people about our faith and lead them to Christ. We also played with kids at the Kirkpatrick Center. Later that night, we went back to the Nashville Rescue Center where Coach Corbett preached and three people gave their testimonies. We were able to stand in the back of the church and reach out to people who walked by, encourage them, and pray with them. The third day was a service project day. In the morning, we went to the Feed the Children ministry and organized boxes in their warehouse. In the afternoon, we went to the Soles for Souls warehouse to organize and pack shoes for shipment. The last day, we went back to the Soles for Souls warehouse to help unload a truck full of shoes and organize them. The Home Missions trip was definitely an amazing and eye-opening experience. It really made me more thankful for the little things in life. I definitely grew a lot in my faith and learned how much impact a simple smile on your face can make to other people.
