LA Dream Center Service Trip

March 24 - 30 I was in Los Angeles with 22 people from Oasis (mostly high schoolers). We spent the entire week serving all sorts of people. Physically it was exhausting: 15 hour van ride, loading trucks with food, cleaning, talking to people on the streets, sharing a room with 8 high school guys; but spiritually it was like taking a long vacation to an island where you just lay on the beach and get served pina coladas. I was reminded of Jesus' words "It is more blessed to give then to receive". Coming back was eye opening realizing how much of my week is devoted to serving myself. We gotta live to give, that's where we find abundant life.


Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the trip:
the crew at Santa Monica Beach

Rick Cummings praying with a lady in the projects
One of the girls we were ministering to at Metro Kids
Some of the crew doing house visits for Adopt A Block

Ian Lusby getting baptized in the ocean the day before we left.
