7-11 Free Slurpie Day Pit Stop!!!

Crew 15

 This week was a great experience. People went from strangers. To friends. To best friends. To family. I honestly found out who my friends are here. I met new people I will never forget. It was the hardest thing to leave the kids at kids camp. It may have been 2 days with them. But I fell in love with those kids. I'm going to miss this week and never forget it. #weekofhope

Crew #12

Leia: I had such a fun time on my first missions trip. It was such a amazing experience! I had a really good crew. They were all really caring. My favorite project was a barbecue at the rec center. We got to play with kids! 


Bronwen: I have truly been blessed this week by my team. My crew members worked hard all week. They asked time and again what they could do with out standing around. They were funny and made me laugh. God worked wonders in my life this week stretching me as a leader and a person. I felt very blessed to feel God's presence with me all week as I worked, traveled, and lived life.


Gina: I had a great time! I became closer with God and my crew. It was just an amazing experience!!


Crew #14 A look at our week - Hannah



Day one and two - My team and I visited a maternity clinic that helps women with food, clothing and toys. We folded and sorted clothing and toys but it was great to know we made a difference to Birthline and it's team.


Day 3 & 4 We served at a community garden and planted, pulled weeds, and made compost bins. It was amazing to see the gratitude on the clients' faces. It was a great week building up my relationship with my 40 person team, new friends, and God.

Touching to the Heart


Gerry: Birthline and the Community Garden were both moving places, touching to the heart. The volunteers at the Community Garden and Birthline were so greatful for our help. I was astounded at their generosity! At Birthline we sorted baby clothes, toys and women's clothes. At the Garden Center we shoveled manure, paved paths and made seed bombs to take home and beautify our home and city.
