Costa Rica

Hello everybody! The past two weeks have been crazy! We spent a (unexpected) freezing cold week in Georgia for training camp and were more than happy to fly off to El Salvador to find the sun. A church group from both Montana and Wyoming came and joined us here in El Salvador for the first week. With them we painted a church, built a fireplace and visited an organization called Love Link that works with malnourished infants. We also visited many different churches and did a prayer tour praying for ministries. It was a very busy week but each of is built great relationships with the church...

El Salvador

Hello! My name is Lauren Grunz. I’m 20 years old and I live in Dahlonega Georgia where I go to school at the University of North Georgia. This is my first trip out of the country and I am so excited to see the three beautiful countries we will travel to and meet some of God’s incredible people! And one time, I met Si from Duck Dynasty. I never actually talked to him, but he’s looking straight at the camera in the picture- so that’s pretty cool. Hola amigos!

Debrief

I am sitting on the patio deck outside of a Barnes and Nobel stating at the glorious snow covered Rocky Mountains to finally try to make sense of the last four months. Hebrew 12 1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Set...

Debrief

Today, we are all heading home to our respective places. We will spend a final team breakfast together, head to airport, say our goodbyes and part our ways. It seems quite simple. But there will be tears…and laughter. But we are ready. And there are really no words to express the thousands of emotions going on in each one of us this morning. These past 4 months have been great. An adventure of a lifetime. And we have all grown in incredible ways. And, God is calling us home (or simply somewhere else). To our families, friends, schools, and jobs. The trip again is just starting. Not...
