Chicag08 Day 4 - Saturday

Hi'ya! We just got back from downtown Chicago where we fed the homeless again by handing out bags of sandwiches, chips and water. It was raining hard at first but everybody was game to continue on with the mission. I was blessed again to see the students work hard for Jesus! It was tiring but it was worth it in the end as we know that God was with us all the way. Awesome times!

UPDATE 1: We are getting ready to go to Willow Creek now to attend Saturday night service. I've been there before but many students haven't been there and they are really excited. All the stories of those who've been there just makes it more exciting as they've only got good words to say about that church.

UPDATE 2: Just got back from an awesome service at Willow Creek. The message was all about "Power" (meaning To possess control, authority, or influence over others), and how you should use your power the right way and the Godly way. The message was amazing and the speaker (Pastor Steve Wu from Willow Chicago) was very friendly as he shared some of his experiences with us and we also mentioned who we are and what we are doing here in Chicago when we met him at the church's food court. Speaking of food court, we had an amazing dinner in there also. Man got yummy pizzas but I got a cheeseburger, cheese fries and pop. When we got back here at the hotel, we talked about our experiences about our first part of the day (Downtown Chicago feeding the homeless) then the second part which was differences between our church and Willow Creek church. There were many positive and there were also some negative experiences but all in all, it was a good experience for many of us.

Tomorrow, we are gonna stretch our limits again and hopefully, everybody gets there safely and everybody will have fun.
