GAiN
Attached are pictures from Friday, June 22nd and Saturday, June 23rd working at GAiN. Mel and I worked at packaging beans and rice on Friday and at packing new clothing on Saturday. We met a lot of wonderful people. While packing the beans and rice, the group broke a record of packing over 17,000 meals in less than 2 hours!!! That could feed a family of four for almost 4 years!! A really touching part, was that when we had finished stacking a pallet, we all gathered around the pallet and prayed for the people who would receive the items. Very touching to be a part of.

Christian Aid Ministries
We found another ministry in Lancaster County that is similar to
GAiN. It is called Christian Aid Ministries and we toured their
warehouse and are planning on helping them in the future as well. They
also work in disaster relief in the states and send aid to countries around the world. 
Tioga, PA Work
July / August
Mel and I arrived at Ives Run Park on July 1 to begin our 2 months of "work kamping". We are each working 20 hours a week to be able to cover the cost of the campsite, The first week saw us working on frames to build up filing cabinets in the Visitor Center as well as picking up trash after the 4th of July festivities. We are looking forward to meeting many people and building relationships while we are here.
We attended Calvary United Methodist Church today. They are a very mission oriented church and we made connections to help out in the next 2 months. After service today, we stepped right in and helped load left over items from their UMW Rummage Sale that is being used to help reduce their mortgage. As soon as we know more, we will post here.
