Today started off with a problem, but as with any mission work, you have to be patient, and know the solution will become apparent. So it was with this. Working half way around the world many nights from my dining room table, and during lunch time from my high school classroom is a challenge, but I believe in Mission Possible A to Z’s potential, and I’ve seen how lives have improved from the work our teams have done. I’ve also learned to put my trust in God to solve the problems, while I do the things that I can do.
Being an Intervention Specialist helps me think out of the box. Marketing our sale of paper bricks to the students has been a challenge worth taking on. These represent the bricks we will use to build the food pantry, and each purchase puts this project closer to reality. As of today, we’ve sold 3,895 out of the 5,000 of our goal. With all the negative we hear about kids not caring, I’ve seen this amazing outpouring of support. Not all of the bricks have been from our students and staff, but they have gotten out and spread the word in the community. The “brick walls” we’ve built around the building are a testament to goodness. The inspirational sayings, drawings, and more on the bricks, has stirred the hearts of all who have visited our building. Kids are stopping to read them, and one boy was heard saying, “I wish I had the money to buy a whole wall of bricks.” I had tears.
