Last week was a really busy week for us. A team of 50 came in and we decided to integrate into their teams for ministry. Every second of the day seemed to be filled with something and we were all doing different things at different times. It was really exciting to see the way the Lord worked in our lives by forming new friendships and working alongside other brothers and sisters in Christ. We’re really looking forward to working together as a team and we’ll keep you updated on our ministry this week!

Philippines

Well we are in our last day now, and the girls have said it several times “Where did the three weeks go!?!” As we have debriefed our experiences and done our best to prepare for our trips home, it is easy to say that we are sad to see that this trip is almost over. There is hope in knowing, however, that the mission field is not only in the Philippines, it is on our soil as well. Last night we talked with the girls about the impact that they can have on their friends and families by simply telling the many stories that they have from this trip. We strongly...

Haiti

There are a lot of stories I could tell of how our team encountered and experienced God in Haiti, but this is the one that stands out in my mind. Throughout our time in Haiti, we spent almost every afternoon at the Son of God orphanage and we would take with us five translators. From the beginning I noticed the kids weren’t really using the translators. I thought that it was because they were still getting used to them and it’s kind of awkward at first to have a conversation through a middle person, but we would constantly encourage the kids to use the translators....

Scotland

blog by Ashley JimenezI don’t know where to begin. This trip has been a time of growth for me, not only spiritually but emotionally as well. Scotland is so beautiful, but there are things hidden and buried deep beneath the beauty. Some of my teamates and I went and picked up trash in the woods off of the main road. From the street it looked breath takingly beautiful but once we got past the wire fence it was such a mess. It was devastating. Mason compared this to a human being. On one side of the fence it was beautiful, but the deeper we went, the more garbage...

Hey all! We don’t have a bunch of time today to blog, however we wanted to get as much of an update as possible. We are heading to another bush church service tonight. How exciting it is to worship with our fellow brother and sisters here! This is our final communication day, so most likely this will be our last update until we arrive in the states. Thank you for all your prayers and words of encouragement! We are blessed to have such a supportive team back home! We love all of you! Now we will let the ladies fill you in on what is happening with them! Lauralynn Hubel:Hey y’all...
