Jamaica Mission Trip

This Saturday @ 5:00 in the morning, the Grace Church High School Youth Group is heading off to Jamaica for a week long mission trip. This trip has been in the works for close to 9 months now, and it has been incredible to see how God has constructed and provided throughout the whole process. What started as an idea has now grown into an exciting reality. We have spent the last nine months sending out support letters, raising money through work days, going to countless number of meetings, and filling out more paper work than we ever want to again. All of this sometimes seems strange in that so much time and energy is put forth for just a one week trip. However, the planning itself has proven to be part of the much bigger picture God has designed. This trip has brought and will continue to bring a strong relationship between all of our group members. It has been a blast being able to work along side each other and support everyone as we prepare for this trip. For a lot of us, this trip will be a new experience into the lives of others around the world, and for some it will be an appreciation of what we have back home. But regardless of what God does in our own lives while we are in Jamaica, we are eager to see what God will do in the lives of the people we come in contact with. We are simply doing what Christ told his disciples to go do. Our goal is to make disciples on this trip in any way God can use us. And our request for anyone that reads this is to support us through prayer. We cannot thank the people enough who have already supported us both financially and through prayer. One lesson we seem to have learned already is that God is faithful, and He will provide for us all our needs.

Thank you for your time in reading this. We plan to update on our experience everyday from a different person on the trip. (Assuming the wireless is kind to us!!!) And yes, pictures will come as well.
