yesterday, we got back from a week-long mission trip to inner-city st. louis. we took about 30 high-school students and 10 adult leaders from our ministry. it was a great experience! we saw so much poverty. we saw so much need.
however, the most impactful thing that i saw this week was the passion and work ethic of our students. i was so impressed at how hard our students worked to further the work of a couple of churches in the city. they exhibited unbelievably positive attitudes no matter what work was put in front of them.
i've been on a lot of mission trips, as a student and leader, and i have never seen such good attitudes for the entirety of a trip.
it was really a blessing to be a part of.

As a suburban St Lousian I was really thrilled to see your kids and the way they served. "Rise" was a great name for the endeavor because they certainly rose to the occasion. And your staff was, as always, amazing. To have taken care of your kids in the environment you were housed in says a lot about your love for and commitment to God's kids. Nice job!
