In het kort wat ik gedaan heb:
Dinsdag heb ik geholpen met kleding uitladen en sorteren in het Culture House (theater in Jekabpils). We hadden vrachtwagens vol kleding en andere spullen uit Nederland, België, Noorwegen, Zweden, etc. Op donderdag en vrijdag konden de bewoners van Jekabpils naar het Culture House komen om gratis kleding uit te zoeken.
Woensdag t/m vrijdag heb ik in een groepje van vier voedselpakketten uitgedeeld. Van de sociale dienst hadden we een adressenlijst gekregen van mensen die dit het hardst nodig hebben. Met ons groepje (2 Letten en 2 Nederlanders) zijn we deze adressen langsgegaan (en later ook willekeurige adressen) om het voedselpakket te geven, met de mensen te praten, over God te vertellen en met ze te bidden! Veel mensen lieten ons in hun huis binnen en boden ons een kopje thee aan :)
Donderdag t/m zaterdag hadden we 's avonds een concert in het Culture House met onze worshipband, toneelstukjes, dans, getuigenissen en een korte boodschap. Het was erg bijzonder op deze manier samen te zijn met de mensen uit Jekabpils.
