Here's the update for my day. Hope you enjoy it.
Today, like the the two days before, began with devotions, breakfast, and the drive to the River of Refuge. The first part of my day was spent tearing out more sheetrock from one of the smaller rooms. I got to kick down one of the walls. That made me feel so accomplished. But anyways, the rest of the day I undid screws from the various beams that formed the rooms. It was very tedious work but important and valuable. I've discovered that if I don't have people near me, I can work absolutely silently, no singing. That was quite the revelation to myself. An exciting note is that I stepped on a screw and had to take it out with a screwdriver. Towards the end of the day, we had everyone pitch in sweeping, picking up pieces of sheet rock, shoveling debris into trashcans to be dumped in the dumpster. Then a group of us were taken outside to pick up the trash that hadn't quite made it into the dumpster. At first, we had to wait because there were people still dumping trash. At one point, one of the trashcans was pitched into the dumpster so Josh, Renee, Nick, and I climbed into the dumpster to get it out. Since then, Nick has sometimes called me Mulan because I had scale the side of the dumpster since it was so much taller than me. Then we picked up the bigger pieces of trash and tried to rake the smaller ones onto shovels to be thrown in. But after finishing work for the day (and consequently for the rest of the trip) at the River of Refuge, I have a new-found respect for construction workers. They have to put with so much that was wearing us out after three days. Many people were complaining of coughs and itchiness from fiberglass. It was crazy amounts of work and we were all glad for it to be done. We then came back to the hotel and lounged about. But a surprise waited for us at the hotel: Mike Larkin had arrived from California with Josh and Summer Smith, a couple from North Carolina who are interested in helping with Ignite once it moves to Virginia next year. Then we went out to eat at Red Robin where I ended up sitting at a two-person table with Eden. We had a great time just talking and laughing. Then we came back to the hotel where we all went to bed early because we had a very early day the next morning.

Kansas City, MO - Day 5
Sorry for the delay. Here is day 5 of my trip to Kansas City, Missouri.
The day began with breakfast and devotions. Then we headed out to the River of Refuge. This time I helped take out ceiling bars, you knows those metal bars that hold the cardboard tiles. I was paired with Annie 'cause it took about two people per room, one to get the bars and the other to hold the ladder and take the bars from the other person. In one of the rooms, Annie and I were trying to get one bar down and the entire ceiling bar network came down . . . except that one bar we were initially trying to get. But overall it was a lot of fun and I got to spend some time with Annie that I hadn't done before. Then we got to do some real demolition work. We started tearing down walls. That was so much fun. That is, until all the dust began swirling and insulation with fiberglass started coming out. But it was a great experience. It was incredible to see the amount of work that we could do when we all worked together. By the end of the day, the rooms that I had helped to remove ceiling bars from had been demolished of walls and room divisions and was one giant room. It was a beautiful sight to actually see physical evidence of our presence. A funny side note: during our lunch break John Wiley took a group of us to see the autopsy and operating rooms. It was so much fun with our group, especially since several of the girls are easily scared and the guys took advantage of that. Great time and not something that your average Joe would do. Also, while we were doing our demolition work, one of the homeless families came with CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network) to be shown where they will be moving into. It was a single mom with a little girl and a little boy and the mom has had to prostitute herself to earn enough money to support her two kids and pay the rent. When the reporter asked how the woman felt knowing that we, total strangers from California, were doing this for her, she began crying and said that she hadn't known that such love had even existed. It was truly touching moment. But the footage they shot and interviews they took will be shown on the 700 Club during the entire month of January. This is incredible exposure for not only the River of Refuge but for Ignite as well. After leaving the River of Refuge, we came back to the hotel and crashed. We all just took things easy. My roommates and I watched tv and talked. Then we all met up to go to On the Border (a mexican restaurant here in the midwest and east coast) for dinner. We had a great time just talking about what we'd done and life in general. Then we came back and went to bed knowing that even more work with sheetrock and fiberglass lay ahead.

Kansas City, MO - Day 4
Day 4 update of my time in Kansas City.
This morning was much earlier than any of the others, having devotions at 7:20 am. After that, I ate breakfast and then we headed out to the River of Refuge. The River of Refuge (http://www.riverofrefuge.com/) is an outreach of the River Christian Fellowship for the working poor to be a place of shelter so that they can earn money to actually buy a home themselves. The building itself was once a hospital but has been abandoned for 10 years, at least until John Wiley and his church bought it. It is an incredible story of faith of how they were able to convince the board to sell the building to them for $1 million and miraculously raised $60,000, the down payment, in 60 days with the last $8,000 coming in at 10 minutes before the contract was to be signed giving ownership of the building to the River Christian Fellowship. Now they are doing demolition and reconstruction of the building to make it into living quarters for families, offices, and, one of my favorite parts, future dorms for an Ignite campus in 2012. Upon arriving, we were given a talk by John Wiley on how they got the building and how their church is merely doing what it can with the means it has. They work on the building with as much as their money will allow them and they are saving as much of the original building as they can. So then we were introduced to the "foreman" for our work, Ron, and he then guided us in a basic outline of what we'd be doing. After that, we got hard hats, gloves, and glasses and split into our missions teams to await assignments. Two teams tore up carpet and another team took down ceiling tiles. My team was split in two with half of us rolling up the carpet and throwing it down to the dumpter while the other half, the group I was with, was to unroll the carpet so that it laid flat in the dumpster thus allowing for mor stuff to be put in. However, before we went to the dumpster, my half group (Colleen, Bobby, Maria, and Alyssa) followed Kevin, one of the men from the River, to down a pitch dark hallway with a very noisy cart to get plywood to put up against the windows so that they wouldn't get broken when the carpet was thrown down. It was a lot fun in that hallways but pretty spooky as well. The first three hours with the dumpster passed quickly enough. Our work wasn't hard and we had fun. After a while, the carpet was getting really hard to pull up so we were called in to take a break and then we got to help pull up carpet. It was really energizing. I never knew how tightly carpet was glued to the floor or that it could come off in two pieces. But I felt so accomplished after pulling up a piece. Then we went to lunch and we learned about the rest of our day. (I won't spoil that for you just yet and let you read it as I did it.) Then we went back to work. This time I spent a lot of time pulling down wallpaper. Then I started gathering up trash and throwing it out into the dumpster. I threw away wallpaper, carpet, wooden edging, and rubber baseboards. Then I helped take down rods in the ceiling and door frames took them to a back room where they were holding all the stuff they wanted to re-use. Then I sat around for a little while with other people and we got to put a few holes in walls that would be demolished. It felt so good. Then we were thanked for our help and came back to the hotel for about an hour before we left for dinner at Panera Bread. So we left for Panera and had a great time just hanging out and eating. Then we went to the International House of Prayer a.k.a. IHOP (http://www.ihop.org/). It has been open for 11 years and has 24-7 worship and prayer. People from all over the world come to pray and worship there and the worship team switches every two hours. Each two-hour session there is a different emphasis that changes the influence of the worship. We only got to spend an hour there and it went by way too quickly. Krista said that we will probably be able to go back again before the trip is over. I really hope so. It was so inspiring to see people, knowing they're from all over the world, all in one place worshipping the same God. I hope that everyone gets a change to go there in their lifetime. Now I'm back at the hotel and will go to my room, relax, and get some sleep before tomorrow's full day comes.
I pray that the Lord will keep you safe and that you would feel the immensity of His love for you.

Kansas City, MO - Day 3
On to day three of Ignite Fall Mission Trip 2010.
So the day began with breakfast and devotion with our ministry teams. Then we went to the River Christian Fellowship for church. It was a very small congragation. We doubled the size of the group. A little history on the church: the church started nine years ago as a Bible study in John Wiley's living room and has grown since then to a lovely building and two service (www.rivercentral.org). The worship was energetic and heartfelt and John Wiley's sermon was inspiring. The church is going through the book of 1 John and were currently doing s1 John 3:4-10. The majority of the message was based on 1 John 3:4, talking about sin and overwhelming love. It seemed to be an expanded version of what he had been telling our Ignite group. After the service, we went to a local mall and spent an hour or so there. I wandered around with Eden and we had a lot of fun. There was a double-decker carousel but neither of us had money to spend for a ticket. *sigh* Some things will never be, I suppose. But, anyways, we then went back to the hotel and hung out there for about two hours when we went back to River Christian Fellowship for their NextGen service. It was good in its own right. The worship was well-done and the speaker had a good message, short but good. Then one of the ladies of the church said that she and others would be available for prayer for the rest of the night. So several Igniters got prayed for and the rest of us just hung out and waited. Then we went to Denny's for dinner, which was a lot of fun except for the fact that one of the girls' order got lost and had to be re-ordered. But overall, it was a good day.
That caches us up to tonight. So goodnight everyone who is reading this. More will come soon.

Kansas City, MO - Day 2
I'm sorry for the short delay. I hope I didn't keep you in too much suspense.
We started the day with devotions in our ministry teams and then left to go to the Inner City River Church, a church plant of the River Christian Fellowship church, in Kansas City. We met up with John Wiley and the pastor of the Inner City River. They explained to us the history of the church and the way that it operates. Inner City River, as said before, began as a church plant from River Christian Fellowship with people who had a heart for the inner city. River Christian Fellowship bought a whole block on 24th Street but gave the church planters one condition. They were not allowed to hold services for a whole year. They were to go out and just love the community. This process took a year and a half during which they partnered with the International House of Prayer (IHOP), providing a room for prayer, and Hope City, a ministry that fed anyone that needed food. Also, kids of the community would go to the Inner City River as a safe place before and after school. Thus was the history of the church when we arrived and they had only started to have evangelistic outreaches to build the church body. So our job was to go out and hand out flyers with information about the church in the surrounding community. We were split into our ministry teams and sent down the two streets on either side of the church with one team on each side of the street. We were told to stay fairly close together as this was a rougher part of town. Now, I admit, I was kinda scared. I have never been in a "rough" part of town and my imagination was having a hay day. So off we went for the next few hours to deliver information door-to-door. Our team went up to each door in threes with a guy in each threesome. At first, I was really scared to go up to the door but as we went on, it got easier and easier and I began to enjoy it. It really helped that we were told to only give them the packet, let them know that if they needed anything to call the church, and leave. So there was a lot pressure that I had been imagining that never really occurred. We had a great time. Then we came back to the church where they served us lunch and thanked us for our help. We then left and went back to the hotel where most of us, including myself, took a nap for the next few hours.
Then we went to the River Christian Fellowship for dinner and a movie. One thing I forgot to mention was the importance that John Wiley stressed on loving those in front of us. He used the story of Lazarus and the rich man as the example. His take on it was that God loved the rich man so much that He sent Lazarus to him so that the rich man could learn to love. But each day, the rich man stepped over Lazarus, ignoring the opportunity to help someone and be the hands and feet of God. That is something that John Wiley has really impressed upon us while we've been here. Love, love, love. Always love people. But anyways, they gave us pizza and salad and candy and then we went into their auditorium for the movie. Before the movie, we watched a video that had been taken of us that day and also one of John Wiley on the 700 Club, describing what his church is doing and how he was called to it. Well, I guess I should actually tell you what that is since I haven't as of yet. John Wiley and his church help those called the working poor. They still have jobs but are unable to afford housing and thus live in pay-by-the-week motels. He and his church provide food for these families and are currently in the process of providing them with homes and other ways to save them from the endless cycle of earning money to pay the rent and nothing left over to try to save for a real home. I'll get into a little more detail on this at a later time. But after the interview, we watched the film "The Ultimate Gift." It was a very touching movie and I highly recommend it. Then we all went back to the hotel and got ready for bed. Eden and I had a skype call with our friend Steven Beck and then I went back to my room and went to sleep.

Kansas City, MO - Day 1
Friends, Family, Countrymen! Lend me your ears as I journal here of my time in Kansas City, Missouri.
So we left Life Pacific College at 8 PST yesterday morning. It was bittersweet because three of our fellow Igniters were not able to come with us but we were all really excited about the trip. Then we got to LAX airport and everything went smoothly so we ended up sitting around, talking and hanging out, for two hours before we boarded. I did my devotions during that time and talked with friends. Once on board the plane, I sat with Eden and Nick and we all had a good time. We all slept at some point during the flight and watching the sunset and looking down at the city at night was simply breathtaking. We landed and met up with Cherise's family and then followed them to baggage claim. Once everyone had they're bags, we loaded them into one of the vans brought to transport us to the hotel. Since we're such a big group, we were split amongst two vans and three rental cars. Those of us in the rental cars, myself included, had to stay at the airport for a while longer so as to get the cars. The other people in my car were Krista (our driver), Colleen, Eden, and Ashley. It was a lot of fun 'cause Krista wasn't used to driving a big car and took her time as she drove. Then on our way to the hotel, we missed the on-ramp to the freeway we needed to take and were about to turn around when we got a text from Sean saying that we were gonna go straight to the restaurant. So we got ourselves back on track and went to the restaurant. The restaurant was called Gates and they had terrific barbeque. Now, I don't usually like barbeque but this was very tasty. At the end of the meal, Sean introduced us to John Wiley, Cherise's dad, who we would be with for about the next week. Pastor Riley thanked us for coming and gave us a general description of what we would be doing. Then we all piled back into the cars and vans and came back to the hotel where everyone finished checking in and getting settled into hotel rooms. I am rooming with Kristen (my roommate), Becca, and Cynthia. Then I called my family and had a very nice long talk with my mom. Once that ended, I went to bed around 11 CST. And that was day 1 of Ignite mission trip 2010 to Kansas City.

What's Been Happening
Hello everybody!
I don't know if anybody is still reading my blog (not that I knew that anyone was before but that's beside the point), especially since I haven't posted in three months. But, for anyone out there in the cyber world who is actually reading this, here is my update.
For the last three months, I have been enrolled in the Ignite program (getignited.org), housed on the lovely campus of Life Pacific College. It is a discipleship program created to help young people discover who they are to be and what they are to while giving them a collegiate atmosphere and hands-on serving. Now that that has turned into some kind of campaign slogan, let's see if I can explain this in a way that actually sounds like me. I am here with 34 other people and we do practically everything together. We take freshman level Bible college classes together with our own Ignite professors and go on ministry outreaches in the area. We are split into four ministry teams, which are the people we do the outreaches with. The kinds of outreaches we do are the DreamCenter in LA, LA Mission, The Oasis (hang-out and Bible study for teens in Hollywood gangs and other teens), church clean-up, Foursquare Missions Press, Pick-and-Pray (picking up trash and praying where the team chooses to go), and THINK Together (afterschool program at a local elementary school). Every other Sunday we serve at a church in the kids department. I was at Christian Assembly in Eagle Rock helping out with the toddlers and pre-schoolers. The week that we weren't serving, we were visiting other kinds of churches. We visited the Spanish church La Iglesia en el Camino, the black church Faithful Central, the newly planted (as in 2 years ago) Warehouse church, and the local church CCV. I have made so many new friends and have learned so much in last few months. I have never once regretted my decision to come.
This Friday we leave for our mission trip to Kansas City, Missouri. We'll be working River Christian Fellowship church with an inner city church they have as well as the River of Refuge, a home for the working poor and future campus for Ignite in 2012. We will also be working with an outreach to the homeless and a group of us (including myself) will be going to do worship at a prison. It should be lots of fun, especially at the River of Refuge where we'll be doing deconstruction work . . . in 30 degree weather! Pray that none of us freeze. :)
But I have missed all my old friends from school and church. So I apologize to all my friends who I have not kept in touch with as much as I would have liked. Do not think that I have forgotten you. I want to keep our friendship if at all possible. So I hope to see you all sometime during Christmas break. I miss you all.
