The tutoring program runs Monday through Thursday each week during the summer. We did our final day. Darryl, who has been one of my charges has been challenging to corral and get focused. One of the regular helpers who has known him since he entered the program four years ago said that he had lead poisoning as a child. This caused some learning disabilities, but they have seen an amazing transformation in his reading and math. This is encouraging. JaJaun turned 10 yesterday and we celebrated his birthday. He wasn't sure what presents he might get, but his dad was going to take him to see a movie. I'm going to send him a Packer shirt.
Lunch was fatburgers from a local place. Two all beef patties, cheese, mayo and the works. Tasty. Though it did knock Sara out in the afternoon. Josh, Andrew's intern, and our work partner has agreed to ride back to Wisconsin with us. Just as St. Louis has been out of our comfort zone, this will be a trip out of his. He's going to share briefly in worship and is our featured speaker in The Circle. More on this later.
In the afternoon my group ended up moving scrap steel at a large old factory building. The folks there have set up a ministry that creates jobs for those with limited experience and education. They have set up a wood shop on the 1st floor and we helped load steel from the basement. It is a young ministry, but seems to have the potential to impact lives. You can check out their website: www.morethancarpentry.org
We had dinner at Andrew and Katy's place. We watched a movie called, The Road to Freedom, the story of Dr. Vernon Johns, the preacher who preceded Martin Luther King at Dexter Road Baptist Church in Birmingham. A glimpse into a godly man compelled to live out the Gospel and God's call for justice, at great personal risk.
In wrapping up, we wrestled with the question, who are we excluding from ACEFC? The close of the discussion revealed that if we are acting justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God, nobody will be excluded. But we will be seen as a foolish church and youth group. (That's the group where girls who get pregnant go)
We closed the day at a local custard place and with some clean up. Its time for me to wrap this for now and start loading the trailer.
God has visibly answered many prayers and I pray he will sink this trip deep into us and multiply every effort. I am extremely proud of our group. It is a joy.

a bit a boot Thursday
We had a great day wrapping things up and will blog more later, but (for now) here is a link to the pictures we have uploaded at this point! "More better" ones coming soon!

Wednesday's Work
Today our tutoring has turned a corner, there is more connection, friendship, and understanding. It is amazing how quickly relational bridges can be built. I did some video taping and the kids had a ball doing flips and antics and then watching themselves. Jajuan is a relaxed and easy going guy, but Darryl is a high energy kid who who likes to buck the system and push the limits. I enjoy Jujaun, but I understand Darryl. The highlight from morning tutoring was when we where working on drawing a picture of what it might look like if the sun stopped working. All three of us were highly engaged in sketching ice cubes coming out of a faucet. It was a moment of high connection.
As the other days, about four people stayed back to do afternoon tutoring. Tom led another group in finishing up Miss Burn's garage with a second coat. It was a slightly cooler day and we were grateful for this.
I had a group that went back to Miss Smith's house. Alice was there, as well as another grandson, Jess. Alice, after her huge angry scene on Monday, appeared at Miss Smith's new apartment at 3am with a suitcase and an apology. As we worked on final cleanout, she was still angry, but was more accepting of the situation and less volatile. Andrew explained that since age 7, Alice had been in and out of group homes because here mother was in jail or gone often.
One of the newer air conditioners that had been fought over was gone. Most likely sold for drug money. Per Miss Smith's request, I loaded the other three in my trailer to take to the church's "Free Store."
Just as we were about to leave, Penny showed up and started yelling about the AC units. I was at the trailer and she demanded, "Are my air conditioners in there?" I said yes. "Open the door and take those out!" I said, "Talk to Andrew." While she stormed over to him, the rest of the group loaded up. She then called the police and was giving our make and plates as I pulled away. Whether there was a response or just my imagination, we saw no less than three cop cars pass us as we were working our way out of the neighborhood.
Our final kid's club was another big hit. We did more face painting. Caleb (Aka Leb, Lebby) Sharpied another shirt or two. It was a little smaller crowd than the night before with some new faces showing up. We did another ridiculous skit. I asked each kid to give me a short line and I put them all together in a song. There was a Playdough "craft" (We made idols) and a short Scripture story and then a squirt gun fight. We closed with giant Pixie sticks, a major hit. Except that I forgot the scissors. It was all delightfully, loud, chaotic, and fun. To children who live often without supervision and limited resources, this free time to be listened to, loved, played with, and treated, is gold. We were touched in the process by their openness and warmth to us.

Monday Part 2
Miss Smith, through a series of horrible tragedies stretching across the years, lost all but one of her children. Penny is her only remaining child and her daughter is Alice. These two women have struggled with drugs and burned many bridges. Their eviction from Miss Smith's house is indeed a crises. Over the years New City Fellowship has spent hundreds of hours and dollars working with them. Much mercy and grace have been given.
However, on Monday, there were two desparate women who did not remove the things they wanted, and more importantly, did not want to leave. Andrew, acting on Miss Smith's behalf told us that everything had to go and we did. But Penny and Alice were "guarding" three rooms. We did our best to keep pulling as much as we could. There were multiple fridges, clothes, old furniture, and countless other abandoned and neglected items. The basement had, at one time, flooded. The smell was intense in some spots. We steadily filled the better part of the massive dumpster, even with Caleb and Brendon carefully maximizing the space.
In the pitch dark basement room we were cleaning out, Angela found a bag of what appeared to be coke and threw it out. The one light came unplugged and we stood in the darkness feeling not only uncomfortable, but realizing it was a picture of sin unchecked.
As the afternoon progressed Andrew said we needed to pull the air conditioners. I put my hand on it and Princess jumped up and yelled that I was NOT taking them. I called Andrew and he brought over Miss Smith. Things go even more tense as Andrew, Paul (another worker) and Miss Smith continued to make it clear, you are leaving and these are not your AC units.
I watched two desperate women curse out a kind godly woman who had done nothing but show love and care. It sounded like Jerry Springer, but was to me a picture of how humanity receives God's love through Christ. Mind you this woman is recovering from a heart attack she had two weeks ago. Andrew picked up one of the AC units and Penny snatched it out of his hands like it was a basketball. She threw it on the floor and sat on it. Andrew told Tom to shut off the power.
We were able to start emptying the final three rooms, but the hostilities continued. Penny made it clear that this had nothing to do with our group. But she continued to disparage Andrew for not being a Christian and for her mother being brainwashed. It took a while, but she played the race card against her mother. Andrew finally called the police.
They came and helped to de-escalate the situation. The final agreement was that they had to be physically gone after the mail came on Tuesday. The last angry threats I heard from Penny were to the effect that she was going to get power of attorney over her mother.
I asked Miss Smith on Tuesday what she did after the ugly confrontation. She said, "I came home said all my prayers and went to bed." The church's keystone verse is Micah 6:8, "He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and love mercy and walk humbly before your God." From everything we see here, New City Fellowship and Restore St. Louis are indeed living out this verse.
It was a physically demanding day. It was hot, hard, and heavy work. But it was worth every sore muscle and nasty smell to be a part of the church truly being the church. In spite of the intensity, there was nothing sensational about this. I don't know where these women will end up. Sunday the pastor preached on how crisis is good, because it is the place where God can get through to us.
John chapter 1 says that when Jesus the Light and hope of the world came into the darkness of the darkness could not understand him. The same goes for every Jesus follower. To quote Andrew's favorite saying, "More Mercy."

Tuesdays News
Tuesday was a great day. Tutoring went well, though the kids seems a little less behaved. We are getting to know them more and that does help. In the afternoon we again had a crew stay back and tutor. There were three crews. One was painting Miss Burns' garage. They got the first coat of white on. Another crew did weed whacking and mowing on a weedy sketchy corner. The city used to keep it up but stopped, so for increasing the safety of the neighborhood they keep it clear. This is right around the corner from where we did kid's club.
A delightful surprise at dinner - Katie (on cello), Andy (her older brother on viola), and the school's principal did a string trio. Lovely.
Kid's clup was excellent. Don't miss the face painting pix! Actually the kids did the painting on the arms, legs, and faces of our students. Angela even got a gang sign. The crazy Moses melodrama was a bit hit with Nate as Moses, Maya as the staff, and Brendon as the burning bush. We told the stories of God providing food and water for the Israelites in the desert. The craft was writing, "God Provides" on a colored plastic cup, then drawing favorite foods and drinks. When told that he got to keep the cup, one little boy was ecstatic and then even more excited when he was allowed to write on it, For passing out snacks we did a walk up. Two girls passed out snacks out the van windows. Afterward we had a cheese curd party in the Stern's backyard.
Bonus: My Friar Mike hair cut (compliments of Doug's Friar Cutz) is thickening up.

Glimpses of children
Our morning devo focused on our adoption by God and how we live into this or not. (See Romans 8) Andrew and Katy had two kids of their own and adopted one, then they had their third and adopted two more. All three of their adopted kids are from the 
same mother. So they have a Suburban full with 7 under 6. (7, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) Rebecca, Hannah, Naomi, Miriam, Jacob, and Moses. It is a true joy to see kids from my middle school youth group
pushing 30 with a houseful of love and chaos. They live in the sketchy neighborhood where we do our kid's clubs. Tonight Katy commented on how pondering the 5000 kids in St. Louis who need homes just moved them to action.
Our first day of tutoring was also the first day of the summer program. It was extra crazy and the college aged summer teachers still have to find their groove. I was pair with Jajuan and Darryl. Jajuan is a first timer and Darryl and old pro (This is a problem as he can be "too cool for school") Some of us have two kids, most have one. They are all over the board from well behaved to fighting and from strong readers to illiterate. We had playground time followed by worship and singing. Then we went to our classrooms for lessons. The theme is the Solar System. We do a variety of discussion and activities. As a homeschool teacher of my kids, I loved this and contributed with questions. My watch that is 6 minutes fast kept Darryl doing the math, as that he asked what time it was every 10 minutes. Overall it was a good first morning.
Doug, Susie, Maddy and Sara stayed on tutoring in the afternoon which included wood shop, dance, reading, and gym. They said it got more challenging when all the tutors (us) left for the work site.
The work site was intense. A wonderful godly women nearing 80 named Miss Smith moved out of her house and into an apartment. She gave notice to her daughter (43) and her grand
daughter (17) who were still living there that she was selling the house and they had to move out. They were given the deadline of today to get out anything of value that they wanted and a group (us) would come and throw everything out. A 40 yard dumpster was delivered to the site. Well....

The Real Work Begins
Sunday morning began with breakfast with the college interns that are working with the tutoring program. Andrew, our primary contact and my 1980's middle school youth grouper, led us in a morning devo time before worship.
The worship time went from 10-12ish and was nicely done. It had a nice relaxed feel like ACEFC. The worship band was tasty and laid down some nice gospel influenced music. There are refugees from the Congo in Africa, so some of the songs were in French? Congolese? Very cool.
This is an extremely missional church planted about 15 years ago. It is encouraging to see the possibilities. We took communion in a circle, (like our candlelight service).
For lunch we went home with host families and enjoyed a meal in a home setting. A nice change up from the large group. In the late afternoon we had orientation in preparation for Kid's Bible Clubs and tutoring.
After dinner we did our first Kid's Bible Club. There was about 20 kids of various ages. We did kickball, dodgeball, singing, Caleb and Mike's Moses/Batman lesson, and snacks. Not a bad start. Three girls went to try to do double dutch, but got denied access.
We came back and wrapped it up. We're going to try some different things tomorrow night. The AC is great and the beds comfortable. The schedule is full and the 11pm lights out should be easy to work with.

Gateway to the West
Today could, by no stretch of the imagination, be called a work day! Usually on these trips the group schedules a fun/regroup day half-way through, rather than at the beginning like this. However, sleeping in a bit today, navigating around St. Louis in the 90- and 100-degree weather, and getting a feel for the city in general actually was a great way to get our bearings and start the week.
We started out at Grant's Farm, the place where Ulysses S. Grant met his wife, and eventually ended up living. It was later sold to the Busch family, and now is the home of a bunch of the Budweiser horses and other animals. It was great fun to wander around, get a tram tour, and see all of the carriages, ribbons and trophies that are on display on the grounds. The animals were far more unique that we expected as well, with everything from tricksy burros, to black swans from New Zealand, to Pere David's deer, the rarest breed of deer in the world.
After wrapping up there, we went to see "the Arch". There's a museum of westward expansion under the arch, along with the cramped ride to the top and spectacular view! It was great to learn about the construction of the monument, and a bit about the good, the bad, and the ugly of the acquisition of the land west of the Mississippi.
After a stop at Wally-world to get the remainder of the stuff for the kids' games this week, the day wrapped up with a hot and tired group ready to hang out 'back at the ranch', take quick showers, watch the rest of the comedy video from last night, eat whatever, and head to bed. Mike did take some time to hand out the books we'll be reading this week, Ten Prayers God Always Says Yes To by Anthony Destefano, and introduce them. They promise to be intriguing reading as a parallel to the activity of the week. We'll keep you posted!

There's a synonym for "overstimulated state"...
... what is it?! 
We couldn't think of it today, but it's kind of looking like this might be a week of whatever-that-state is! We did make it safely here today (hooray), with a few wrong turns (of the kind where you know you did it right away, but you still get the fun of turning around with the 'burb and a trailer) and a few stops including a pizza
lunch at Monical's (a highly regarded Illinois pizza chain).
The arch was beautiful with the sun glinting off it and the sky being dramatic as we drove into town. We reached our destination -Andrew's house - without a problem. He lives right next to the facility where we'll be tutoring next week. He was just about to sit down to dinner with his family, so we played kickball and hula-hooped with some neighborhood kids (Dexter, Zac, JC, and Zahara) for an hour or so. Then we headed over to the church: a big cool complex that used to be a convent (where we'll be sleeping) and boarding school for deaf children. It's air-conditioned (is it really a work trip if that's the case?! Not that we're complaining...)!
Andrew is the one heading up the program for the week, so we gathered together so he could give us an overview of the week. More on that later, but he did a great job of making us feel welcome and that our time and presence here will be of big impact for the kids we tutor, and the widows whose houses we'll be working on.
After that we unloaded and headed out to Burger King for supper, then back to the church to chill and watch a comedy video.
Tomorrow we'll get a day of sight-seeing in, and have all sorts of fun planned, since our time will be packed from then on.
Here we go!

Launch day
The trailer is packed. We're loaded for bear. There is a strange sensation the morning of a work trip. It is always a sense of waking up to another great adventure that is sure to come, without knowing what exactly will make it so.
