DNC Volunteer Report
The DNC went really well. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. It was really neat because the same group of officers hung out at our location for several hours every night which allowed me to form some (all too brief) friendships with them. Really all I did was sit and hang out with them… joke with them, watch TV, listen to their stories, and just get to know them on a personal level. I have never really had a chance to do that with cops before, so that was one of the biggest blessings for me.
They told us that the last things cops want is to be preached to, so the way I approached them usually was just to tell them a little bit of my testimony and left it at that. Most of them didn’t inquire any further, but all of them were very touched that we volunteered so many hours just to serve and support them. It was a little sad when we said our final goodbyes this morning.
