Mission Update: Asbury Social Work Student Serve

Asbury Student Says, "God Is At Work Here!"

 

Dr. David Cecil, an Associate Professor in the Master of Social Work program at Asbury University in Wilmore, Kentucky is a good friend and supporter of Wayside Christian Mission. Once again, he brought a number of his amazing students to the Mission for an overnight stay that included a performance by the Down by the Wayside Choir, testimonies from our homeless clients, the viewing of an educational video on homelessness, and a much anticipated service project in which the students treated our ladies to manicures, pedicures, and facials.  With so many ladies and teenage girls in our care, it came as no surprise when the Asbury students were literally surrounded by eager "customers" wanting the complimentary beauty treatments!  It was all in good fun and the students had much to say about their overnight stay at the Mission:

 

"It was a blessing to serve such beautiful, grateful people!"—Sarah
