What is gonna happen next

Next Tuesday we are going back to shelter again. This could be our last time but there is a good chance we will return on February 4th. I would be willing to still go even after PIF is done, perhaps once or twice a month instead of every week. This is because I can see the impact we are having. Although we have not done very much so far, we HAVE been put in the position as greeters. We would say "Hello!" or "Welcome!" to the people as the entered the building. What amazes me is that this shelter has been running EVERY TUESDAY since March 1999. That's almost FIFTEEN YEARS! The homeless people don't always have a place to go but they know on Tuesday night, the church at burrard and nelson has open doors. This gives the people a sense that someone cares about them. Similarly, many people we greeted seemed happy when we greeted them, responding with "Hello!" or "Thank you!" I hope we will have an even greater impact as we keep going to shelter.
