Hello from Juana Díaz, Puerto Rico!
We are so happy to report that everyone has arrived in Puerto Rico safely. All of our groups are ready to get some sleep but excited to get this week of missions and fellowship started!
Today we all joined in sharing our first meal together. After dinner, we headed to our local church Iglesia Bautista el Mesias. We are so grateful that they are lending us their church for worship this week.
Tonight, our rocking band lead us in worship. Jared, our speaker, then spoke on surrendering everything to God and being willing to do His will. He read from Mathew 4 and 14 about Jesus calling the three fishermen to be fishers of men. He pointed out that they dropped their nets without question and followed Him. Jared asked us, “what net do we need to let go of in order to be all in with Jesus?” This was a great message to get us to think about over this week as we become more daring in our faith.
Tomorrow, our youth groups will head off to four different host churches. These awesome and welcoming churches will also provide their lunches! Our students will also get to meet their squads tomorrow and get to know one another better. It is going to be such a great day of making new friends!
Please pray for our students and leaders as they take on this week. Also, show them your love and support by sending ServeMail which will go into their Mission Serve mailboxes.
Hope you all had a great Saturday!
Your Summer Staff,
Olivia and Justin
