So, I hit the Dunkin Donuts in the dowtown library first.
Alyn (the InAsMuch minister from Broadway Christian Church) lead a ministry that is a compassion based ministry in downtown Fort Wayne. In our 2.5 hours together, I learned a lot about InAsMuch, but want to share two things with you now:
- They have an excellent structure and process for helping people out of poverty, not just handing them food, clothes or money without any exit strategy.
- They share the gospel with everyone they help. They provide accountability and help people to grow, not just survive another day.
After my time with him, including a prayer walk around downtown, I met my wonderful sister Penny for a quick lunch and then went to a meeting at the Chamber of Commerce about handling media outlets as a small business/non-profit leader.
One other note- in the last 5 days we have met and had good conversations with about a dozen neighbors. It's been great, and we look forward to getting to know them all better as the weather starts to warm up!
Thank you, Lord.
