The thread of comments from the Action Groups meeting on Saturday, before leaving for the airport, was amazing. Each and every one related the most meaningful and memorable experience of the trip. It was one of those "you had to be there" moments. Thank you Lord for allowing me to "be there". These TEAM members encouraged me beyond what I ever expected. But it was exactly what I needed! Thank you TEAM for being the light and life of Jesus to not only a dark world, but to those of us who are "here" in Peru.
The Action Groups had names, and I thought it appropriate to share them with you. Maybe you can talk to some of the group members and find out how they determined what to call themselves. They were: Pure in Heart, Forgiven, Hungry, Thirsty, Joyful, and Peacemakers. These names they selected in themselves are an encouragement.
The Action Groups had themes to what they felt God had taught them this week and they were: Unity, Trust, Drawing closer to God, Everyone has something to offer, Healing - physical,emotional, and spiritual and lastly Praying first not as a last result. The experience also opened their eyes and hearts to living for Christ in America. These are comments recorded that YOUR teenagers shared!
Finally, one of our bus drivers, Edgar, was held in high esteem as he was recognized as being a servant of God, trustworthy, a man of integrity, one who we need to not forget, but look up to!
I know pictures say a thousand words, but they do NOT say what I have tried to share in these blogs. The word picture takes a little more thought on both the writer and the readers part, but I do suggest the best way to learn more about the trip is to talk one on one with some of the TEAM members. They have so much more to share personally how Christ worked in and through their individual lives.
To God be the glory!
