On Thursday, we welcomed around 50 participants who will spend the next three months in 4 different countries: Ecuador, Nicaragua, South Africa and Thailand/Cambodia. They are between the ages of 18-22 years old. They have put their lives on hold to pursue the Lord and His kingdom in another nation.
I mobilized two of the teams: Ecuador and Thailand/Cambodia.
Here is the Ecuador team (minus one, she arrived late to training).
This team will serve in two different areas of Ecuador: on the coast and in the jungle. They will do a variety of ministries including: Working with the local church, Kids Programs like VBS and soccer, Dump ministry, Hospital visits, Construction, Teaching English, Visiting the community
(The awkward photo on the stairs was my idea of course)
Here is the Thailand and Cambodia team. They will spend 2 months in Thailand, and 1 month in Cambodia.
Josh and Meg are the two team leaders for this group. Participants: Laura, Morgan, Chloe, Emily, Kelsey S., Kelsey A., Courtney, Victoria, Joshua, Makalya, Alexis, Madison, Gabrielle, Emma, and Jordan
They will do a variety of ministries including: Evangelism, Working with refugees, Children’s ministry including VBS, Sports ministry, Teaching English, and Tutoring students
Pray for these young adults as they begin their journeys (physically to the location that they are serving at but more importantly spiritually). Pray for teachable spirits and obedient hearts. Pray that they grow in intimacy with the Father. Pray that they share His love and light with every one they come in contact with.
