Update on Tuesday’s Accompaniment in Milwaukee:
“Yesterday our work group went to the Salvation Army. We bagged food for kids and then we saw the trucks delivering it all to the kids. We went to a park, Armony, where a neighborhood boy played tag with us. After some play time, we went to Feeding America where I got to use the pallet jack and move pallets around.” ~Tristen Halsey, Youth Participant
The other two groups went to gardens, a food bank and Summer City Camp. For evening activities we heard from four women who survived sexual and physical abuse from family members and their path to recovery. We had some great conversations during our church group time, including what has challenged us most and where we have stepped out of our comfort zone. Then, we played Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, Pizza before turning in for the night. We also enjoyed reading our prayer partner cards and appreciate knowing people back home are keeping us in prayer. ~ Sharon Hardel, Adult Advisor
