The theme for our missions trip each year is "Knowing God and making Him Known". We are digging deeper in this theme by looking at what God's will for our life is. Each morning and evening we look at God's word to find out what his His will is. Last night we had a dinner illustration on how God desires for us to be concerned for those in the world that do not know where their next meal is coming from. It is called the feast of nations. Through this meal students were able to experience how the majority of the children feel each night before they go to bed each night, which is hungry (don't worry, we fed them again before they went to bed). Through this illustration, many students commented during their small group time that they will be grateful for the food they have at home and try not to be so picky. Another student thought she was not going to get anything, but was grateful when she was able to have a bowl of rice during our meal time.
Today, we will be serving the orphan and the poorest children of the island, fulfilling James 1:27 so that we may have the relationship that God desires us to have. Thanks for your messages. I will share them over breakfast and dinner today.

I thank you for the updates which brighten my day so much. As a parent, I want to share that I too I'm learning through this experience. I pray for God's love and compassion to grow in each of you and that others will see our Lord in you as you touch the lives of the children and people you meet.
I'm so proud of you Angelica! I know God is working in you and your classmates to do His will. You have always had a heart for others and God has used you to help me grow too.

Thank you for keeping us updated. We are praying for the kids that they would have a deeper spiritual walk as a result of this time away to serve the Lord and others. Grant, we love you and miss you...it's very quiet around here without you. Love from Mom, Dad, Kyle and Emily.
Thank you for the update! These 8th graders are SO blessed to have the opportunity to experience the Bahama's with your leadership. You are all in prayer. Rachel, we love you and miss you. Mom, Brendan, Maggie, Sammie & Lilly
Well, it's a shame they didn't feel the full measure of going hungry throughout the night so as to be able to appreciate their next day's meals so much more, but that is how our Lord is with us--when we think He is not there to help us, He shows up even greater than before because He is Merciful, Gracious, Loving... So, we pray that the young ladies and gentlemen learn from this experience and do likewise by showing mercy, grace, and love to others, always knowing that He is with "YOU".
Mike, thank you for the update and I hope you're getting some sleep over there.
Autumn, we love you and miss you.

The team's Wednesday sounds like it was full of great ministry. Imagine standing face-to-face with Jesus & hearing Him say "inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me." and "Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord." Persevere, serve with all your heart, give everything within you, and finish well my beloved Jordan.
Love you.
Mom

To the CCA staff and students:
We continue to praise the LORD for the work He is doing in and through you. Please know that you are continually in our prayers as you minister in Christ's Name. Connor, we miss you very much, but we are comforted in knowing that the time will pass quickly until you are home, yet the work you are all doing will have eternal significance. "Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)
Blessings in Christ,
