Reflections by Emily!!!

It was great serving alongside the youth and watching God work in them. My most memorable experience would have to be when the youth were put into groups, given a Ziplock bag with a worship booklet, Bible, and told they could use $5- then sent to different areas around Boston Common and instructed to "spread the Good News." The group I was with had a difficult time. They were turned away, cursed at and money was snatched from their hands. It was a great reminder of how we reject God and how Jesus must have felt as he was shunned.

The week was filled with great morning challenges, eye-opening service projects, amazing debriefing sessions, and evening worship. It was a learning experience for all of us. Hearing the youth speak about what they learned each day and how they saw God working in debriefing was one of my favorite parts of the day. The Boston Project was an amazing experience for all of us.
