What a wonderful opportunity we had to share, grow, and serve with this summer’s teams. God revealed so much of Himself through the selfless saints that left their homes and families to come pour out the love of Christ and themselves on a mountainside.
Medical clinics, Vacation Bible Schools, crafts- OH! the crafts, food bags, a day long shopping trip of love and discovery, hugs, smiles, sunrises over coffee, laughter, prayers, hands held, arms raised high, love spread, physical walls built, emotional walls torn down, tears of joy and revelation, sunsets over coffee, plans to return , plans to grow and blossom more intentionally where God has planted.
Planting seeds of faith and pine trees. Establishing family ties and those truck bed rides up, down, all around!
A taste of the true freedom that we have in Christ and the thirst for more, much more.
A season of rain and a muddy trail. Similarities shown brilliantly with the differences all but forgotten in the shadow. An opening of eyes and hearts.
A remembrance of our humanity- that we are all one family. The rag tag, broken, forgiven, redeemed, ADOPTED sibling group known as the Children of God.
