One outreach that is a priority to every Blue Sushi class is with The Heart House (a house for single moms & their children- this house enables them to start fresh & make a new life for themselves and their children with Jesus Christ being the center of their lives). The Blue Sushi students are able to do a little yard work, clean a house, and love on some babies...all in one day! It's such a blessing for us to be able to serve these families. Take a look at some pictures from this outreach...
Two other outreaches that we particpated in...the Baton Rouge Dream Center & Jefferson Manor Nursing Home.
For the Jefferson Manor outreach the kids made some really sweet Easter cards & some yummy baked goods (cookies, brownies, etc.)...we headed to the nursing home and most of the kids had no idea what God was about to do in their hearts. As we walked in, I could see the faces of the children begin to change...a softness & purity that only a child can bring was brought to the residents that day. Smiles were all over the place and cookie crumbs littered the hallways as the children passed out their goodies and cards to each person they met. It was a great day, the Blue Sushi kids and the Jefferson Manor residents had a blast...all for His glory!!
For our last outreach we went to the Baton Rouge Dream Center and the kids got to participate in Adopt-a-Block. That's where you take a block (or two) in the neighborhood and clean it up. The kids put on their gloves, grabbed a trash bag and went to work...sweat, dirt, and whole lot of TRASH! They picked up everything: bottles, wire, cigarette butts, and even an old tire. By the time they finished the kids smelled like little puppy dogs, but it was well worth it.
Man, this was one of my favorite classes so far...and this is just the beginning. God has incredible things in store for Blue Sushi and I can't wait to see what He is going to do.
Blue Sushi, remember to stay teachable and always ready to give an answer for the hope you have! And live your life for the audience of One, Jesus!
