Late but better than never




This was an amazing trip. It was awesome too see the body of Christ working. I have seen kids work on mission trips, and have seen students on mission trips, however this was the first time I have seen this many adults on a trip serving. We were able to minister to many people. The last night we had a fiesta and we believe near 600 people showed up. We cooked 300 hamburgers and 300 hot dogs and they were all gone. That night there were lives changed, Pastor Julio gave the chance for people to recieve and MANY raised their hands. This trip was awesome. One of the coolest things was watching our church family serving.


Today I had the privilege of going to the Georgia Bowl Game in Orlando. The game was a lot of fun and we won. However as i sat there looking around at all the people drinking and yelling and cheering on their team it hit me. We live a life of luxury compared to most people in our WORLD. I was sitting and enjoying a game most people couldn't afford including my self, I was given tickets. Also, while I was there I realized that everywhere was a mission field. While eating lunch we shared with a guy at a bench about our trip. We all have to open our eyes and look around us. A Mission trip is not about going somewhere its all about serving God in serving others.... I am preaching to myself more than anything but someone may need to hear that. Everyday in your work place or in your school, or in your town there are people that need Jesus. Take the boldness that God can give you and do it. Plant City was an amazing trip, now we just have to take everything God taught us and apply it back home. Thank you for the pray and support during the trip. Love you all,




Be blessed,
