We had the phenomenal opportunity to share the sanctuary with Mount Olive Baptist church this Sunday morning! We were blessed to hear an empowering word from pastor Doug.🙏

Your work week is now over and even though you are all so very tired, you should feel energized at the same time because God has used each of you in amazing ways! You may never know the seeds you planted, and yet you do know that God has worked in you, and through you, during this entire week of love, service, and hopefully fun! Thank you for making this week possible, and we are praying for a safe trip home, good health, and REST!! May God bless you as you have time to reflect on such a wonderful, and yet busy, time serving Him!

What a great Youth Group. It was so much fun to have you all stay at Woodcreek Church in Dallas. I appreciated being included in your morning devotional as well. May you find the people you're working with to have open hearts and minds to receive God's Word and Christ's salvation.

So glad to hear you guys made it! I can’t wait to see what God does through you all this week. It is such a blessing to get to go back to the same place again. I had the opportunity to go back to the same place for two mission trips in college and that second time around was so unique and special because the relationships were already formed and it was like we picked up where we left off. I pray that God would use those already formed relationships you guys have to do mighty things out there this year! Happy Sunday.

Praying for all of you this morning! For health, safety (Andrea) BOLDNESS in proclaiming Christ! In all you do - do it for Jesus!! I read Romans 12:10-16 this morning and thought, Wow! What a great reminder for you on mission! Because our enemy is MAD at you and will be throwing all kinds of negative things at you, remember to be loyal to each other, be diligent, be excited to serve God with each other, have joy in your hope, be strong and hold each other up when hard stuff happens, PRAY, PRAY, PRAY! Take care of each other. Bless the people who persecute you, and don't be angry! Share each other's joy and burdens. BE HUMBLE. (This is paraphrased according to Jacob's grandma). Praying you have a grand day serving Jesus, together! Love to all!

Good morning! I'm thinking about and praying for all of you this morning, and that God is preparing the hearts of those ahead of you! And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” Romans 10:15
