DAY ONE-PRAYER TOUR

PRAYER TOUR by Ashley He.

Tonight, we went with our CSM host Paula on a prayer tour. She showed us around the city of Toronto, and the different places that we might be visiting and interacting with throughout the week. Some of the places she showed us (during the day!) were Regent Park (largest housing project in North America), Prostitution areas, Crack Row, and Casey House (Hospice house for those with AIDS).

At the end of the tour, she took us to see the skyline of Toronto. It was amazing. To see all these places, and to hear about people struggling with their everyday lives, made it seem very personal. We came on this mission trip to Toronto not even knowing what exactly what we were getting into. So many people are struggling, and we are here to serve them showing God at the same time. It's so exciting to begin this week knowing we can make a difference in someone's life. Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow, but God is working in this city, and He hears prayer, no matter how helpless situations may seem. One person can only help so much, but God can do anything, and it's amazing. I'm so excited for this week!
