What now?

So we're home, but our mission trip experience has not ended by any stretch. Every team member's facebook wall is blowing up with photos of the trip (and there are MANY still to come!) and we're all telling our favorite stories over and over to family, friends, church members, and others. Underneath that, though, we're processing through the trip, which is still a bit of a blur in our minds. It takes a while to make sense of the beauty we've seen, the sadness and difficulties we've experienced, the amazing work God has done, and the things He is teaching us through all of this. Of course one mission trip won't solve the problems Africa faces, and indeed now that we've seen these problems through a magnifying glass they sometimes look even larger and more difficult. But we do know that God has done great things on this trip and has called us to continue playing a role in His ongoing work of redemption.

We'll be talking more about this and sharing pictures, videos, and reflections next Sunday (June 24th) at Celebration Baptist Church, so please join us there at 9 or 10:30AM if you're curious to hear more in person. Also please continue to pray for Elise as she is staying in Kenya for another couple of weeks serving at a different nearby orphanage. In addition, keep visiting the blog and the facebook pages of team members to see and hear more!
