Ben’s Story

My name is Ben and I am 10 years old.  I have been going to Church on the Street for a while with my father.  It all started months ago when I heard about Church on the Street.  I had no idea what to expect, my dad said it was serving, preaching and preparing food for the homeless people in Atlanta.  I really wanted to go.

My first time going I was nervous because it was a large crowd.   Church on the Street not only helped the homeless, but me as a child.  I have grown closer with the Lord ever since I started serving at Church on the Street.  Volunteers do many different jobs.  I, for one, like to help with the snacks in the beginning.  I like to say hi to all the homeless people.  My real favorite job to do is to wrap the hot dogs in tin foil.  Sometimes when I am not washing the dishes, I will go out with an adult and pray with a homeless person who needs prayer.  I would like to do Church on the Street as long as I can and try new jobs when I get older.
