The great midwest (Events #3 and 4)

The last few days have been packed. Tuesday night we drove from Canton, Ohio into Indiana where we stayed with some friends at Taylor University. Wednesday was filled with meetings at Taylor University and Wednesday evening we hosted our third event at Rock Bottom Brewery in Indianapolis. We had a great turnout. There were close to 40 who came to hear about HOPE, many of whom had never heard of the organization before.

We left straight from the Indianapolis event for Chicago and arrived there late Wednesday evening. We held a breakfast outside of Chicago this morning for about 20 HOPE supporters. We were very warmly received by everyone who attended and it was great to connect with some of HOPE’s supporters in the Chicagoland area. Following the breakfast, I had the opportunity to meet with a group of professors and students at Wheaton College, which was encouraging. It was the first time I’ve been on the campus and I was really encouraged by the intensity and enthusiasm I observed in the individuals whom I met with.

We then hit the road for Casper, Wyoming, where we will be hosting an event on Friday evening. We made it halfway and are spending the night in Omaha, Nebraska as we gear up for a big trip tomorrow morning.
