A Day In The Life

Work began for us at 8 a.m. this morning. A typical morning consists of hosing down the sidewalks in front of San Francisco Rescue Mission and San Francisco City Impact, respectively, mixed in with a little preparation and prayer to get ready for our Morning Cafe, Bible Study and Evening Service. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday nights also consist of recovery groups, a prayer and small cell groups, and a youth group.

San Francisco Rescue Mission is also helping serve lunch to the children of San Francisco City Academy while renovation is being completed at San Francisco City Impact's building at 230 Jones Street. All total, we are serving approximately 250 people out of our 140 Turk St. location Monday through Friday.

As we gear up for five outreaches in this fourth quarter, we lean on God more and more to give us that little extra strength we need to help those that are in need. We feel God's presence in the Tenderloin area and realize that we are on the verge of something big. One of those areas where we have witnessed tremendous growth recently has been in the San Francisco Rescue Mission Clinic. We had three nurses attend to fifteen patients this morning. Various complaints included a sore shoulder and problems with their feet. It was great to see the nurses provide immediate care versus having them wait at San Francisco General Hospital for hours on end.





And one of the teachers from San Francisco City Academy took time from his lunch to give a gentleman a free haircut (yes, free).
