I have a good kind of pride at the moment. My family, as part of the Kansas City "What If The Church" Serve Day, helped weed a sand volleyball court, and then lay new sand on top in an effort to bless the Gillis Center. The Gillis Center houses 36 boys in need of a home, plus has an emergency shelter for 10 boys who find themselves in desperate need. (We learned that in Kansas City, roughly a hundred kids need emergency shelter every month. Gillis is one place helping meet that need.) Gillis also runs a school for 120 kids who have been booted from other schools for behavioral issues. We got to hear a couple of stories of transformation that has taken place through the efforts of Gillis. So it was an honor roger to help clean the place up a little bit alongside Christ-followers from all over the KC metro area.
Here's the before and after photos of the sand volleyball court. To see some photos of my awesome kiddos at work, head over to our family website at thebirdnest.net.
