Last night at FBC, we heard from the youth who went to Jamaica on a mission trip over spring break. They told about building chicken coops, visiting a school, and going to a long term healthcare facility. Sounds like they had a great experience.
We saw pictures of this year's chicken coops. But the team also had the opportunity to go back and see the one they built last year. I made the comment that the chicken coops were probably more solidly constructed than many of the homes in the area.
I'm really proud of our youth group. They experienced the determination needed to accomplish the task at hand. They witnessed God working in many lives. And they came home with a better appreciation of the comforts of our lives in the US.
You know, it is God's desire that we take the good news of our Lord to the ends of the earth. It was so encouraging to see all the youth that have now been exposed to this process. Makes me wonder how many will make "going" a lifelong commitment.

Lord, help us to share your Good News with those around us wherever we go. If it is your desire that we leave our nation's borders to do this, give us the courage to go. We love you.
The youth did a great job last night. It was nice to hear about their individual experiences. I am hopeful their experience will light a fire in each of them to continue mission work - at home and/or abroad.
