Time Out To Play

by Jeff Logsdon | June 18, 2024 7:43 PM

Once everything was in place, it was hard not to test it out! The bounce house, ladder ball, corn hole, snow cones, cotton candy, and DJ booth will make for a great event in the morning! 
Time Out To Play

The First Try

by Jeff Logsdon | June 18, 2024 7:47 PM

We were told it takes as many as three tries to get the bounce house back in the bag, but our team got it done on the first try!

You Gotta Have 'Faith'

Trusting God to bring the people to this event was made even more enjoyable when the first guest that showed up said her name is Faith!!

We were told that weather in Portland can be pretty unpredictable sometimes. Turns out it was the perfect day for 'Fun On Fuller'.

Our host church invited us to join them for a mid week dinner and adult version of Vacation Bible School! The craft we made together was almost as easy as putting a camel through the eye of a needle!

Night Strike

by Jeff Logsdon | June 21, 2024 6:52 AM

Before we rested for the day, we got to meet up with hundreds of people under the bridge in Portland to hang out with our unhoused friends. Some passed out pop corn, while others played soccer together. Sewing, hair cuts, and even foot washing were all a part of sharing this moment together during an event called Night Strike.

Packing up the trailer after such an incredible week together provides for the chance to appreciate all the things we did with friends and the great food that came with Heather's hospitality each day!
