Not The End But The Beginning

We had an amazing day at the beach. A down day and a time to reflect on our week.

As we come to the end of our missions trip it really isn´t the end but the beginning. The beginning of a life changing experience for the team. For the people who have never been here before God has used this trip to open their eyes to what families living in poverty have to endure everyday. For people who returned God confirmed in our hearts that we must continue to make life changes to do what Jesus commanded us to do. Help the poor, the downtrodden, the widows and orphans. To go out and share the gospel of Jesus and be his hands and feet. May all that we have seen and experienced this week as a team begin in us a passion to make a difference. May we not go back to our comfortable North American lifestyle. May the images we have seen and the stories we heard continue to move us to action. May this not be the end but the beginning to God calling us to step out of the boat and use our resourses, our gifts and our talents to serve the poor.
