The day was finally here – the day we’ve been preparing for and praying about for weeks! It was the day of our medical/spiritual outreach event in an impoverished Atlanta community.

The goal was to serve a shelter for abused and homeless teenage mothers and their children – both medically and spiritually.  We had volunteers ranging from elementary school kids – ready to sing their hearts out – all the way up to our competent medical team.  We prepared a program for the adults, and another one for the kids.  We planned various lectures on health nutrition and even dental hygiene.  In addition, we had a lecture on how the message of Christ was relevant to us today.

With over 60 volunteers from all ages from a variety of churches involved, we were ready for this day...

...until two unexpected events took place.
