Loaves & Fishes

Jamel and I joined the Ballou Community Group from Karis this afternoon to serve dinner in downtown Columbia at the Loaves & Fishes Soup Kitchen. It was fun hanging out and serving dinner with some folks from Karis, and Jamel told me on the way home that he had a great time. He asked a lot of questions about Loaves & Fishes, so it was a good opportunity for some great dialogue. He wanted to know where the people came from that were there to eat dinner, and he also asked why so many of us were there to help serve. Jamel pitched in and worked hard along with everyone else, and with so many there the work was not too difficult. The Ballou Community Group serves at Loaves & Fishes the first Thursday of each month, so I would encourage anyone who is interested to go help them if you can.
