Last week nine kids and five adults went on the first annual Lifepath Junior High Mission Trip. We went to Waco, Texas and worked at Caritas of Waco as well as the Salvation Army. We spent our time in their warehouses sorting and processing things. It was hot work but the kids were troopers. We also worked in some fun things like a snowball fight and a trip to the Waco zoo.
It was a great opportunity to begin building in them the value of serving others as well as a chance to form some great friendships. Plus, I now know how to play "Duck, Duck, Freak."
The triplets and I also used the time to meet Jimmy Dorrell who runs Mission Waco and pastors The Church Under the Bridge. We had a nice lunch together at The World Cup Cafe which was created by Mission Waco. Jimmy shared with us some ideas about community development which will inform our Inside-Out concept.
It was a fun trip!
