Today was a success! A group of middle school youth from Schweitzer UMC left Springfield today at 11am to head up to Kansas City, MO to help the community. We stopped by an incredibly busy McDonald's for some lunch in Clinton, MO, and then on to Red Ridge United Methodist Church, where we will be staying for the next couple of days.
The boys are staying in a sunday school room with another group of youth from Ozark, MO. The girls are staying in the fellowship center of the church on a tile floor. I hope everyone brought their sleeping pads or blow up mattresses!
Tonight, in our youth group devotion, we discussed why the student's came on the mission trip. Why are they here? What's the purpose of them on this trip? We read Ephesians 2:8-10, where it says, "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." So we asked our students, what is holding you back this week from letting God work in your life? We got some good answers! We prayed over these things and now I can only wait to see what God has in store for us in Kansas City!
Goodnight!
