Man do we have one loving God! So I have been living in the T-loin or Tenderloin area of San Fransisco for the past week now. Oh boy has it been intense. Definately fell in love with it. Here is a little break down of what the T-loin consist of: We have a ton of homeless people, many of which are addicted to drugs and alcohol. The number one drug here is crack/cocaine. Nothing is hidden when you walk by some one. people are just lighting up their pipes right in fron of your eyes. Lower income families, protitutes and massage parlors ( better known as brothels). When we walk up and down the streets you can just feel the spiritual darkness of these people. Us YWAMer's are going to bring the light to the darkness.
Its been a wonderful week getting to know the other DTS students and staff. We all got along from the start and now were just like one big family. There are 8 girls and 1 boy and the boy is married so its like an all girls school. Its cool though, I am enjoying it. I wish I could tell you everything that is happening but its really hard to explain all the feelings and emotions and things that are going on. God is definately moving through this place. Of course I have the best roomie ever!!! Love you Grace :) Haha.
I am so excited to start my ministry down in the TL. I will be working with the BJM ministry ( Because Justice Matters ) for the few months I am down here. It reaches out to all the woman in the Tenderloin that are in strip clubs, prostitution, homeless etc.. also I get to help out with nail day which is painting and doing womens nails! Never thought I would do that but. Its serving Jesus so I all for it!
Thank you every one who is praying and supporting me it is very much appriciated!
Your Friend,
Michelle
