Act of Kindness-WA D.C. Trip!

This summer, we offered an internship program called Occupy for high school and college students. Occupy is a 6-week program that is geared toward helping students grow in their identity and intimacy with God by going deeper in the Word of God, prayer, and evangelism. The internship offers the opportunity for students to learn the backbones of ministry by working closely with Take the City staff in administration, social media, and videography.

While in the program, the students took a trip to Washington D.C. to pray for people on the streets, share the Gospel, and participate in an event called Together 2016. Here is a testimony from one of our students, Ashton, on the trip:

“On our trip, Mariel had us write encouraging notes to hand out to police officers. Throughout the day, I handed out all of my notes but one. At first, I saw a police officer and felt like the last note was for him.  Though he was on the phone, I approached him with a big smile. I’m pretty sure he thought I was trying to sell him something because he wouldn’t receive my encouraging note. Moments later, however, I found a police officer who accepted and really appreciated my note. That day, I learned that sometimes you may feel like you’ve failed, but if you wait upon the Lord, He will open a way for you to bless just the right person.”

This is just one testimony of many more to come! If you would like to know more about Take the City, check us out on FacebookInstagram, or Twitter!

I have been serving in some way with Take the city since October 2013. I spent a lot of time on the prayer team in the beginning and encountered God’s heart for the city in a life changing way. When the teams came back and shared testimonies, it was always fun to see that our prayers coincided with some of their testimonies in special ways. More recently I have had the privilege of leading a team to a nursing home where I used to be an employee. I used to pray over the facility every day, and it was such a miracle to see an old friend who lives there give his life to Jesus on one of our outreaches a year later. God sure has a way of answering prayers. And Take the City is an answer to so many prayers that have gone up here.
