Hola Todos! (Hello all!)

I thought I'd share my kodak moments from the Mission Trip.
 
Panama trip was awesome! So many lives were changed. Our team was so blessed when this one man testified during our last service at a basketball court. It is such a blessing to see people's lives changed. This man was alcoholic, beaten his wife and kids, was into marijuana and cocaine. Our team leaders talked to him as we ministered to the community. Because of the love that he saw in us, he began to want what we have and he gave his life to Jesus. On the evening of the last service, he testified to the public what God has done in his life, and he publicly apologized to his family!
 
Not only that we were able to minister to the unbelievers but to the fellow believers as well. We met with the young people of the church there. We taught them the importance of Quiet Time, they were all so eager to learn! But the funny thing was, there were unbelievers who went to the meeting, and they all gave their lives to God! One young man who had fallen away from God recommitted his life to Him! It was great! We started a regular Youth Bible Study and encouraged them to continue even as we leave. We encouraged them to start sharing the Good News and they did.
 
And the children, oh, they were so adorable! I love them! They always look forward to having the VBS. They always wanna hang out with us. They always follow us whereever we go. We were their big brothers and sisters, and I love it when their parents smile and laugh as we spend time and laugh with their children. :)
 
The trip has changed my life as well. My love for the people grew all the more! I am now addicted to missions. :D
