Greetings everyone! It’s crazy to think that we’re almost done with our work projects for our Week of Hope Trip! Seems like we just arrived the other day! Words that could describe this trip would be….
*Challenging
*Barrier Breaker
*Carrying each other’s burdens
*Cultivating a Heart of Servanthood
*Life-changing Stories
*Seeing the Real Jesus
*Thought Provoking
*Creating Community
*Eye-Opening
Not enough time to put into words everything that God is doing but I can only say right now that God is moving in our students hearts! Our group sharing times have been very powerful, raw, real and straight up honest discussions about faith. New relationships are being formed, hearts are being comforted and challenged at the same time! Healing is taking place for many of our students. More to come later…..but here’s a few snippets straight from students hearts. Enjoy!
“God has lifted my burdens of eating disorders and Epilepsy. I put all my faith & hopes in the Lord. I know he loves me because He sent He’s one & only Son to die for my sins (Lauren Pfitzmaier, Senior)
-This trip has changed my point of view of working with younger children! I didn’t want to do it at first, but within the first few minutes God changed my heart and it’s been amazing serving them (Thomas Lightbody, Sophomore)
-Through Week of Hope I’ve been able to come out of my comfort zone when helping people. I’ve realized that everyone needs help….even the young, the elderly and the forgotten.” (Emily Peters, Senior)
Praise God!
