All of the groups arrived at BUMP NYC safely on Saturday, July 23. After unloading their things and hearing from their hosts, some groups went for a short tour of lower Manhattan' followed by a cool ride on the Staten Island Ferry. From the ferry they saw the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline. Others went together for an ethnic meal in the neighborhood they're staying in. After a long day of travel and excitement, the groups got good rest and a respite from the heat outside.
Sunday was a day of orientation to our New York Metro churches and to BUMP NYC. Students were briefed on the week to come and were served a lunch by their host church. New York pizza was the fare for dinner and all of the groups were able to come together for an amazing time of worship and for a challenge for the week (Jeremiah 29:4-7) from the BUMP NYC city coordniator, Renee. We all were able to gather for fellowship over fruit ice pops and then break to our respective housing sites for a good night's sleep, before a very busy week of ministry.
