Tuesday morning we spent a few hours serving at Feed My Starving Children. All together we packed enough food to feed 104 children for one year! Granted, we had ALOT more people than just us, it was cool to see the work we could do when we all came together. 

After FMSC we drove to Blue Door Pub and enjoyed the Minneapolis famous "juicy lucy" burger. All of us tried, and most for the first time, Spam bites! I think most of us liked them, so we might just have to start cooking with Spam more often ;) 

Tuesday afternoon we spent some time at the Stone Arch Bridge doing a prayer walk. The Stone Arch Bridge spans the Mississippi River as it curves through the city of Minneapolis. We prayed against human trafficking at the upcoming Super Bowl, for the Minneapolis and St. Paul police departments, and for the friends and families of the victims of the 35-W bridge collapse. 

Later in the afternoon we met up with Jennifer from St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church for a tour of the Phillips neighborhood. Jennifer works for a ministry called Mission Shift which operates out of St. Paul's ELC. This was a very educational tour as we learned so much about the neighborhood, the people that live here, and some of the history of Minneapolis. We took a lot away from this tour, so ask about it when we're home! Brian cooked us dinner later that night before we left the church to go to Alfa y Omega for evangelism.

We loaded packages of food into Pastor Donaldo's car and prepared other materials for evangelism, and drove to an apartment complex not too far from Alfa y Omega. Once we arrived we could not believe how quickly we distributed the food we had brought. It wasn't before long that a handful of tenants from the apartment building came out to greet us. This experience was new for all of us as we had never done evangelism before. Despite this being the case, we were inspired to see how easy building a relationship with these folks was, and it was Pastor's hope and ours that later down the line the opportunity would come for them to hear the Gospel.
