Be Ye Doer Tour

Michelia and I are in the Baltimore, MD-Washington, DC area on a pre-project visit for this summer's Youth Choir Mission Tour. Today we met with Captains' Evelyn & Cedric Middleton of the Salvation Army. We will be partnering with them this summer to offer a Daycamp to the housing projects that surround their facility. Above is a picture of Michelia and Evelyn in the lunch room. Evelyn is a delightful person with a wonderful spirit and vigor. We enjoyed visiting with she and her husband. We also met the cook Ahmed. Ahmed is a native of India and made his way to America following the Tsunami that took the lives of 20 of his family members.



This is the worship area where they hold a variety of services for the community.

This is a shot from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The group in black down by the reflecting pool is preparing to do a concert. We are hoping to do a concert in the same location this summer.

This is the Upper Senate Park. The Senate wing of the Capitol can be seen in the background. We have already been granted permission to do a concert at this site.

"Row houses" are very common here. These particular houses are in East Baltimore, across the street from the church where we'll be doing a block party one night.




This is the East Baltimore Church of God in Baltimore, MD. We will be doing a concert here on Wednesday night as part of a block party to reach out to the surrounding community. Which by the way is heavily populated by Greeks.

More pics to come tomorrow. <><
