Every Wed night we have a praise night out on the beach at Coney Island with all of the groups that are here. So we have a time of worship, some testimonies, a time of teaching, and then some small group time

As we were closing the night I was talking to the group about prayer. The verse I read to them, the theme verse for my CSM experience, was Ephesians 3:20, which I’ve talked about before. It reads,
"Now all glory to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask of hope." I also shared this story:

Even though it’s early in the summer as far as CSM goes, I think I’d already gotten into a bad habit…
  You see, our daily schedule starts at 8 or so in the morning, and we’re finished once the group debriefs at the end of the night.  Every week, the visiting group is offered a night off to explore the city or do something fun.  While they are off, so are the city hosts!  This past Tuesday was one of those nights for us.

I spent this past weekend as a homeless person living on the streets of downtown Toronto. The experience was part of my training with CSM, and the five interns partnered with the summer interns and workers from Evergreen Ministries, which is part of the larger Yonge Street Mission. Evergreen does this experience annually and encourage all of their staff to participate - this summer was CSM's first go-around.
