Today was a great day for the Jackson team. We started the day off with an amazing devotion about the joy of Christ, by Mr. John Perkins himself. To be completely honest I was kind of nervous to meet him, because I thought he would be intimidating, but he was actually one of the sweetest kind-hearted man I've ever met. You could really see his passion for Christ in the way he spoke. His words were full of wisdom and a true excitement. I took a lot from what he said.
After devotions we went to the Perkins Center across the street and began to set up for the Easter Bash. We started by building three huge tents, which turned out to be pretty hard work. Then we went to make posters and we were later joined by the local boys who lived in the neighborhood, who gave a helping hand. It was quite a great experience to work with these kids and learn more about them. We had a lot of fun working with them and we actually became friends with these boys. I think it really changed some of our perspectives on the people living around here and the community as a whole.
