The
following entry was written by a youth who recently traveled to New York City
for mission work with our CUMC Youth group. Thank you Erin for sharing what God
placed in your heart from your experiences while being the hands and feet of
Christ.
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and
vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for
yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and
where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your
heart will be also. (Matthew 6:19-21 NIV)
I saw God throughout our week but a specific time
that really stuck out to me was when we were working at Bread and Life. The
recipients started singing songs, hymns and made up songs of praise between
meals. It was a very powerful and joyous moment and made even more so hearing
it come from those who have so little. It just shows us that true joy is not
found in worldly things.
