Thursday in NYC.

On Thursday morning we were up and gone by 6:30. This was after we got back to the hostel at 2am. So we were all working off very little sleep.

We started the day out at Liberty Island. The Noogin Monkey shared and INSIGHT/ONSITE about Freedom. He did an amazing job and gave us a lot to journal about. It was very powerful to reflect on freedom sitting at the feet of what is known internationally as the symbol of freedom and knowing that true freedom is found in Jesus.

Below you’ll see pictures of our team journaling.

This is looking back from The Ferry on the way to Liberty Island.

The pictures below are from our trip to the Central Park Zoo. It wasn’t a real big zoo, but we had a great time. The bus ride was quite an experience… just imagine all the looks we got. 40 of us! I had to carry around $100.00 worth of quarters so we could pay for the buses. Both times though, we had just great bus drivers who wouldn’t take our money. Very cool!

This is our group with all the kids form the Center.


Zach and Elvy.


Becca and Fatima.


Mackenzie is way too excited, she was always sooooo loud!
