The team started off the early morning with an orientation meeting in the park complete with breakfast from Top Pot Doughnuts. The team then attended Sunday service at Coastline Church, currently located in the church’s coffee shop. The team got to listen to a sermon from Pastor Brice Sanders on the end of Matthew 28, which encouraged the congregation to align the hope and vision for their lives with God’s will rather than their own.

The team ended Sunday night with a debrief session covering everything they did throughout the day. The team was also able to hear a devotional covering the entirety of the Gospel based on Romans 1:1-6. The team then got a chance to practice what they learned by coming up with ways to turn a jar of pickles into the Gospel. The kids learned that if they are able to turn a jar of pickles into the Gospel, they can turn anything into the Gospel!

In addition to cleaning out the kitchen, the team is also working on painting the interior with a fresh coat of white paint to brighten up the space.

As with every morning this week, we had the opportunity to send a small team over to the New Horizons Youth Shelter where they were able to cook and serve a meal to about 30 youth and young adults who were experiencing homelessness in the heart of Seattle. It was a great opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a very practical and meaningful way!

As some members of the team went to New Horizons on Wednesday morning, the rest of the team stayed back at Ballard Church where we are lodging for the week and did a deep clean. We had teams vacuuming the whole church, others cleaning all the bathrooms, some cleaning windows and mirrors, and still others cleaning every high contact touch area. That place is so clean now!

To start our recreation day on Thursday the team went to underneath the Fremont Bridge to the infamous Fremont Troll. This troll was an art installation and has turned into a large tourist attraction. It was a great time watching the team climb all over the sculpture and have a fun time!

For our final day at New Horizons, we made biscuits with sausage and eggs. All the leftovers we had from previous days serving at the shelter will be used for breakfast tomorrow when there is no team signed up to volunteer. It was a such a blessing to have the opportunity to partner with an incredible organization and serve breakfast for the homeless youth of Seattle all week!
