During the mornings in Toronto, our group was divided into 2 groups. Each group went to separate churches to help run outreach-centered day camps. Each day at these camps we helped to lead the kids in crafts as well as games and a Bible lesson.

Several evenings during the week we spent some time as a group singing and praying together. Occasionally we also piled on top of one another for a group photo.

We encouraged the youth who went on the trip to journal about what they were experiencing as they served God in the city.

On Wednesday we put together about 70 bag lunches to take to homeless people on the streets. It was an eye-opening experience for most of us to do this. We're hoping to do some sandwich runs here in Baltimore.

This is Sheila Collins. She was our CSM host for the week. She's pictured here with Daniel, one of the kids from the Willowtree VBS.

Willowdale Baptist Church - half of the Toronto team assisted here each morning with the summer day camp/VBS program. Each day presented new challenges and opportunities to share the Gospel of Christ with the children who attended.
