7 Day - Arlington Texas!

On March 8, Project 7 spent the afternoon with a very special group of people at Mission Arlington for our monthly “7 Day” volunteer event.  Mission Arlington is located in Arlington, Texas, a city which gets much more publicity and fame as being “home of the Dallas Cowboys” rather than a city that provides a tremendous service to their community through the help of Mission Arlington.

Mission Arlington just celebrated its 25th year of service, which speaks volumes for its dedication to helping others. As they spoke to us with their warm smiles and provided us with the details of our task that day, they made a statement that really resonated with us. That statement was ”we believe that God is up to something big in the world and more people than ever before are seeing the need and responding to His call to ³take church to the people.²

This means they don’t sit and wait for people to come to them. They go and seek and bring the word of God to others. They prepare supplies for those in need and take them where they are needed and they do an outstanding job not only providing resources for the community, but also by providing continued support to help better the lives of so many in need.

As we sorted through donated clothing to prepare boxes to be taken out to those in need, we observed the large amount of donated items, which is a very positive thing to see. However, the need for volunteers to help them continue running efficiently is greatly needed. Donated items are what allows them to continue this wonderful cause through resources, but it’s just as important to help them sort, organize and distribute.
