2010 Summer Mission Trip
The 2010 High School Mission Trip was July 4-9. Our group of 19 high school youth and 5 adult leaders travelled to Kansas City, Kansas. We arrived at Grandview Park Presbyterian Church on Sunday evening just in time for a wonderful dinner. The old stone church was our home for the next 5 days.
Our theme for the week was “More or Less” which comes from John 3:30 – “Jesus must become greater; I must become less.” Each day concentrated on a specific aspect of this. Monday was More Courage, Less Fear. Tuesday was More Be, Less Do. Wednesday was Less Here, More There. And Thursday was Less Ego, More Love.
We started each day at 7:00, had breakfast, did our housekeeping chores for the morning and then had Devotional Time. During our Devotions, we learned about our theme for the day and then had quiet time for personal reflection.
After Devotions, we were told what our work projects would be for the day. We were split into 6 work groups which were a combination of our church and a Baptist church from Winnipeg, Canada. The work projects we did were things such as scraping and painting houses and working with several non-profit organizations in the community that work with children.
The week allowed for growth, reflection, healing and showed us how God was working in us and others.
