Over the U of M Spring Break, eight students and two staff had the opportunity to invest in the lives of the men and women at the Boston Rescue Mission (BRM). The general consensus upon leaving Boston, was a feeling of great humility and overwhelming thankfulness. We felt blessed to have been given the chance to get to know the residents of the BRM. In the morning, our team would meet together for a devotion and discussion of a passage in the Bible. We spent each afternoon serving the case workers by helping them clean and organize the building. However, the majority of our time was spent hanging out with the residents. We loved teaching them games like Signs and Mafia, but the most enjoyable time was the personal interactions that we had with different individuals. There were many gospel conversations and two of our students had a conversation with a resident that resulted in him receiving Jesus Christ as his Savior. It was amazing! Many of the residents had misconceptions about Christians and Christianity. We were able to debunk many of the myths they believed and present the gospel clearly to them. The hope is that many seeds were planted and that God will provide the growth.
