This week was the Downtown Church's first ever Mission to the City (M2TC). It is a week long mission trip to Des Moines, IA! Why go overseas when there are many who need to hear the gospel right here in Des Moines? Several people signed up and split into several groups. After morning worship, prayer, and encouraging story time, each group has a full day of service projects and sharing opportunities in the city. From Gray's lake activities/free water, car washes downtown, and handing out free breakfast to cleaning east village windows, cleaning trash at the I-Cubs games, and cleaning cars at a free car wash downtown, our laborers have really been serving the city well, hoping to be a blessing to many. In addition, the Good News about Christ has been shared.
As if that wasn't a busy enough schedule, this week has also been a week of working at the new DTC location. The wearhouse needs a lot of work and we really want to finish Mission to the City with a first service at the new building. There has been a lot of cleaning, painting, insulating, moving, and a lot of other stuff involved! Here is Leighton doing some sweeping! We didn't stay long because they had just started to paint the floor. I can only image how that woul dhave ended up if Leighton would have continued to have a run of the place!
