from a past Mission trip youth:
"This trip had to be the most productive week of my life. We managed to build a house for Juan and Adalia to live in. It was so moving watching his smile getting bigger and bigger. Before this trip I knew people lived in poverty, but I never really put a lot of thought into it. But on the trip I truly became aware of it and we did something about it."
from a pAST MISSION TRIP CHAPERONE:
"It's difficult to explain all of my feelings. I'm thankful that once again I got to watch young men and women grow. The personal challenges that each of them conquered, the looks in their eyes when things were tough. The looks in their eyes when we finished. The pride of making a difference!"
James 2:22-25 (the Message)
22-24 Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you are a listener when you are anything but, letting the Word go in one ear and out the other. Act on what you hear! Those who hear and don’t act are like those who glance in the mirror, walk away, and two minutes later have no idea who they are, what they look like.
25 But whoever catches a glimpse of the revealed counsel of God—the free life!—even out of the corner of his eye, and sticks with it, is no distracted scatterbrain but a man or woman of action. That person will find delight and affirmation in the action.
