“[Two of our co-workers] remarked that they were struck that all the ACMNP team members were unique. They thought that Christians all acted a certain way. They appreciated seeing our special personalities and interests. They were surprised we were not instructed by ACMNP to avoid the “worldly” employees but rather to engage with them.”

This week we got to meet and befriend some incredible people. Even during our first full team week, we got to know a boy who was having trouble making friends, but he joined into our group very quickly and has been coming along on our adventures!

A friend of our group, who is not Christian, spent our sermon prep evening with us asking us all sorts of questions he had about Christianity.

“I have been able to make good connections with a few individuals, where we are able to hang out one on one and have some good conversations. I have been able to share my faith my supervisor at work, and another guy here that said he was interested in getting back into his faith. I have also been able to have conversations about what I believe in with a coworker.”

“While doing Bible study outside, a coworker came up and asked if I was Christian; when I told her that I was, she asked for my number, saying that she recently rededicated her life to God and was in need of Christian community. I introduced her to the team and invited her to service.”
