It has been a week since the team has returned from Ireland, and I am slow on getting out a final update. I find it difficult to try and briefly sum up a mission trip. How do you quantify the individual and group experience of 12 people? Let alone that of those we were serving and/or partnering with?
With that in mind, to answer the question that many have asked me about how the trip was, my uncreative answer has been "great". And it was great and powerful and meaningful. Ministry was done in an organic and beautiful way, and Christ's love shone brightly in the midst of darkness. To some traveling across the ocean to renovate a flat may seem like a project you can do here in the states. But a trip is so much about perspective building, exiting our world and entering anothers. You see the greatness and vastness of who the Lord is in new and different ways!
Looking forward, Hope For Nashville has hit the ground running in our final preparations for Summer JAM that begins next week! Please be praying that God would really use us and prepare our hearts to serve Him and the precious children we will be doing the VBS for.
