We had a great time at King's Island. Spencer faced her fear of heights and roller coasters and ended up riding almost every ride, including the slingshot! We all bonded together at the end to ride together and share funny stories about our mission trip!
Over the whole week, I saw amazing changes take place in the lives of 5 wonderfully blessed youth. Steve, Gary, and I had the privilege of working with the kids and being apart of fantastic growth: spiritually, and otherwise. The kids all have amazing things to say about the trip and their own personal growth and understanding of their relationship with Christ. They made lasting memories and are already finding their new friends on Facebook and MySpace.
The trip was so much more beneficial than the work that we can see on the surface. The kids made an incredible impact on the appearance of Garden of Hope and are all very proud of their work. The other benefits will affect them for the rest of their lives. This is the first of many mission trips to come, and the kids are already planning next years.
They will be in church Sunday to share their experiences with the congregation and to thank everyone for their love, prayers and support.
Thank you for everything,.
In Christ,
Steph
