Today was neat. We started the day going to school! Yup! Each one of us was in a different classroom observing for the entire day. Melissa is a teacher there that is on fire for Jesus, and wants to impact people in her school. We got to hear stories about students she impacts, but there is one issue. It's a public school, and so she can't flat out say the name of Jesus there. So she brought us to observe in classrooms and maybe if we got the chance we could give students a little hope. It's a title I school which means that at least 70% of students are on free and reduced lunch. They're freaking poor. The high school they feed to has a 50% drop rate. So just to go into the schools, talk to them about college and give them hope for a future was enough reason to go to that school. I got to observe in an Orchestra class. It was really neat to go into an Orchestra class because I'm so involved with music, but never orchestra so it was really cool to learn a little bit myself. I also got to lead the class in some percussion exercises.
That brings me to what we did next. The picture below is Katie Green and Mallory Barkholz. There is a girl named Keisha who started a ministry called "Blessed." Keisha is a christian because of Melissa's ministry at the school. These two girls were able to give their testimonies, and I had the priveledge to help lead worship for the night. It was such a great night.
