What I Learned In Spokane
That title makes it look like I'm writing a school paper. This isn't true at all. For all the curious, I think I should write an overview of what I learned and what happened on the mission trip to Spokane. It was quite the week of self-growth and team unity. I couldn't be happier with the results of the week. So I'll tell you all the three main things that I got from the trip or happened on the trip.
1)An AMAZING team of people!
I was blessed BIIG TIME by being placed in my mission group. We bonded waay too well. Now, we're like a big family with FAR too many inside jokes and hobbies. From sweating competitions to frolfing at 6 in the morning....we had many experiences that brought us extremely close. On Monday, we had a huge open up night where we listened to "Come to Jesus" by Chris Rice. After listening to that we said where in the song we were (it explains the walk of a christian) with God. SUPRISE! We were all basically in the same spot, with different circumstances in each case. AMAZING GROUP!
2) Prayer.
I said something rather inappropriate about this topic the night we got back. I made a reference to Pastor Tom Ramsey's long prayers. Some took it the wrong way, but I love the guy, and if you listened to what I said, it was more of a compliment. The people at City Gate (where we worked) made us come to the City Gate 30 min. early to pray...the whole time. It was amazing though because God responded to our prayers and I learned how to pray much more genuinely there.
3)Meeting Homeless/Poor people.
God showed himself in many different ways to me while I was talking to the people I served at the City Gate. He helped me get in touch with a woman who was going through a relationship where her boyfriend was unfaithful. There are so many stories...just ask and I'll tell you them!
I LOVED THE MISSION TRIP!
