Hey Everybody
It is the afternoon of my first full day in Chicago for Project today! In the intervening weeks between my last post God provided all of my support for me and then some, so hopefully that support will be able to bless others who have not received all of their support yet. It was a great growing and learning experience raising the funds to be able to participate in this project, and I am so grateful for everyone's generosity. It was very encouraging as well to see how many people believe in me enough to support me on this ministry opportunity as well as to know that this is where God wants me given that He provided all of my support necessary.
A majority of the students moved in yesterday, and it was a bit overwhelming. There are around 40 students here currently and 29 or so moving in next week as well as 30 staff members and their children. We have a really large group so I have met a lot of people. The community has been great so far! My apartment is really nice and I am very blessed to be staying in such a nice place. I have two other roommates currently and will have two more moving in next week. We all enjoyed some deep-dish, Chicago style pizza last night and just got settled in to our places.
This morning we had a group breakfast at 9a.m. Following that, one of the project directors, Bach Borjadze, taught us about Psalm 23 and how that relates to our focus this summer and our lifestyle as Christians. Then we had a meeting about some of the project norms as well as some general information about the city and life in Chicago. Our group headed out after our meeting to get lunch in Greek Town on the way to Dominick's to get groceries. It has been a great day so far, and I am looking forward to a life-changing Summer!
