Life is a little slower now that the team has headed back to the U.S. After church I change clothes and stop by the soup kitchen. It is really hitting home that most of the people I see here would struggle to find a meal or simply not eat if it wasn’t for this ministry

It is indeed a blessing to be in Flint, Michigan once again serving with the First Trinity Missionary Baptist Church to distribute bottled water to the residents of this city.

Towards the end of the 2015 the water contamination crisis in Flint, Michigan was all over the news.

Today is bittersweet. If you ever go into the mission field you will understand the feeling you get on the day you have to leave. There is joy but it is laced with sadness. I have been blessed in that I have had the opportunity to stay in country longer than most of the Lott
