Summer Session for Trek-X is in full swing!
I spent the month of May at home in Corinth resting up for the summer ahead. It was so wonderful to be home with my family! I enjoyed spending time with them with no school work or any other demands of my time. I tried to use May to really ask the Lord to prepare me for what He has in store this summer.
"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God." Matthew 4:4
"Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!" Psalm 139:23
Now, as for the rest of my summer... We just finished leading our first team in ATL, we have another team coming Sunday, and then I head out to GUATEMALA June 23!
The first week of missions in Atlanta was a blessing. We had a team of about 80 middle schoolers from Fellowship Bible Church in Nashville. The week looked similar to our Atlanta trip in March. We partnered with North American Mission Board, serving at 14 different apartment complexes. Each day we would take an international tour. We experienced Hispanic, Asian, and Indian cultures just as if we were in another country. Then we would head out to our ministry sites. The team played games, made crafts, and just spent time getting to know the kids and a few of their parents at the apartments. Each day they shared truths from the Bible: God created the world and all that is in it, Jesus lived a sinless life full of miracles, and He died and rose again to offer us new life in Him. We welcomed new believers into the Kingdom and got to see others hear the Gospel for the first time, planting seeds in expectation that God will water and harvest them.
Please pray that the Good News will continue to go forth in Atlanta as our second team arrives on Sunday. We will be serving in four of the same apartment complexes. My prayer is that God will work in and through the students coming to serve. I pray He will open their eyes to see that missions isn't just about a trip every summer, but it's a response to God's grace and glory. I pray they will go home forever changed, serving and loving the people around them. I pray for the kids' hearts at the apartments to be receptive to the Truth and for eternal impact to take place. I pray that God will give us Trek-X students the energy, wisdom, and anointing we need to be servant leaders on the trip. May He do in us what we cannot do for ourselves.
I'll keep you updated on the rest of the summer!
God Bless You. Romans 8:35-39
