Bueno from Saturday in Juana Díaz, Puerto Rico!
All of our groups arrived and checked in today to start their week. We are so happy that every church safely got here and is excited to be here! We are so thrilled to see what this week holds in store of each one of us and Puerto Rico.
Tonight, Project Coordinator Steve lead us in an opening orientation before the band lead us in worship. After worshiping together, speaker, Coach Rusty, dared us to leave the stuff we brought with us at home. He encouraged us to recognize whatever hinders us from experiencing this week and God’s love and leave it behind. He wants us to also recognize that we are all messed up and everyone has garbage, but nothing is too big for Christ. Christ took all of our garbage on the cross!
This week is already off to a great start! Tomorrow we will worship at our local church Iglesia Bautista El Mesias. After worship we will all join together for lunch. It will be such an awesome experience to worship in Spanish and English. It is so crazy how connected we are and that God is God of all!
After lunch, our youth will also split into squads and get to know one another better. It will be a jammed packed day of meeting new people and making new friends. It is just another awesome perk of a Mission Serve project!
Please keep our participants and the city of Juana Díaz in your prayers. Also, show your love and support through sending ServeMail which will go straight to our participants Mission Serve mail box!
We hope you all have had a blessed Saturday!
Your Summer Staff,
Olivia and Claire
