Guest Speaker from Siloam Mission

John Janzen (J.J.) was our guest speaker yesterday.  He is from Siloam Mission and since we could not go to Siloam this year he came to us.  We collected warm winter items for the homeless and presented him with them, so that he could deliver them for us.  J.J. told us an animated story about gardening that we were suppose to compare to the homeless.  It was not only entertaining, but also had a powerful message attached to it.  If we all pitch in and help someone who is different from us then we are helping change the world.  J.J. showed us what services Siloam offers to the homeless, like medical, workout room, art room, beds, transitional housing and a drop in center where people in need can come to and eat a meal.  Students were able to ask questions and learn more about Siloam and how they help the homeless. 
It was nice to end our unit with J.J. as our guest speaker.  He mentioned many things that we were already aware of and many things that we weren't.  Thank you to J.J. for driving out to EBEYS to come and talk to us.
