Moving Day
This past Saturday was moving day here in montreal. Apparently the large majority of leases turnover on July 1st, and people do the crazy thing and just move 5 houses down the street. So as an outreach, we decided to go out and help people move.
Jessica Li, quite the artsy student here, made up some crazy T-Shirts for us to wear (i'd post pics if I had a camera...) that had the Campus for Christ logo on the front and said Moving Crew on the back.
It was strange, the majority of people that we met were pretty much set, but there were a few people that we helped out that were convinced we were sent by God/karma (funny coincidence eh, seeing as we're here with Campus for CHRIST) because they were pretty down trying to figure out how they were going to move their stuff. The big part of today was not about verbal sharing but about service and showing them that we wanted to demonstrate God's love for people in a more tangible way. I really enjoyed doing this.
It's interesting, being the evangelism coordinator here in Montreal, because right now, we're just trying to plan out the rest of the summer, and both Hannah (the other evangelism coordinator) and I are so busy most of the time, we haven't had time to really sit down. So things are starting to look last minute (which I was really hoping to fix this summer.)
I guess prayer request would be that I would just prioritize my time and really sit down and do a good job with this. Because after all, God wants the best from us that we can give, and my best is much more than what I have been doing thus far.
