2014 Youth Mission Trip to the Mile-High City
August 1-8, 2014
On February 19th at our regular youth meeting I made a surprising rediscovery about the people in our group. They already have the desire and
courage it takes to serve God and neighbor.
It’s an honor and privilege (well…most of the
time) to work with a group of young people
who want to put their growing faith into action.
Below you will see just a few of their answers to the question:
Why do you want to go on the mission trip to Denver and what gifts do you bring?
I want to help other people in need…and it would make me happy knowing
I can help people out.
…because I really want to meet people that don’t have homes
It would be a great opportunity to help those in need and get more in touch
with serving God.
I am good with children and following directions.
…You could save someone’s life.
I feel like the people we’ll meet will be very nice.
I’ve never been to a big city, but I feel like the people I’ll meet will be very
kind and giving.
I want to know the real meaning of helping people who seriously need it.
I like to build and explore.
I am nervous and excited, but I want to go because I want to get closer to
God and help.
I am smart and I can multi-task.
I can sew and have some experience with drilling, nailing and stuff like
that…I am excited to get to know people from different places I think people
there are very grateful for the little they get. They have been through a lot and they could give you some
very good life lessons.
Just thought you’d like to hear what’s happening in the minds and hearts of our youth as they prepare for their
adventure. Thanks for supporting our youth with your gifts and prayers.
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Jan
