The other half of our group went out delivering meals to the elderly. At each house we went to we were able to pray with the person and even had the opportunity to sing to an elderly couple. What a blessing we received on this ministry.

We wouldn’t think of not celebrating a birthday while on a PPM mission trip. Our staff made an ice cream cake for Ethan made out of ice cream sandwiches.

Dorothy Day Ministry

by Janet Buchanan | April 9, 2025 6:47 PM

Our last day before we headed back home,we served at two of the three Dorothy Day homes. Where families who have fallen on hard times are allowed to live rent free with their children until they can get back on their feet. This is one of the only ministries that will house a mom or a dad with kids under the age of 17.
