Well, we went to the Jamaica Shelter (a family shelter in Jamaica, Queens) to teach and play with less fortunate children. We were in the CLC van coming up with a game plan of what to do and say, really having no idea what we were going to run into. We got there safely and the atmosphere was actually really relaxed and fun, a vibe we were not expecting. We did all sorts of games and activities which were really entertaining to watch our team complete. We really reached out to the children and got to know them on a personal level. Also, Ashley shared our love for Jesus with a fun Bible story of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, and at the end our team prayed for the kids' lives and futures. In all, we had a great time and got these kids to know God's love.

Giving life everywhere that we go.
This is less about where we go and ALL about WHO we go with. We desire to bring the reality of Jesus Christ everywhere that we go. Jesus said, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Jesus is already at work in the World & we would not even begin to pretend that we are bringing Him somewhere that He is not already working. Through every mission trip we will encourage, support, and lift up those who are serving tirelessly in the location we are traveling to, whether that means Mexico, Washington D.C., New York City, or Williamsburg.
I love following your journey through the blogs....we are praying for you all.
