As we close out our trip, here are some thoughts from our students...

 

 

What fears did you overcome during the trip?

Getting out of my comfort zone.  Not being in a situation I was used to.  Talking to homeless people.  I barely ever get to do that, but now I’m comfortable with it.  -- Joshua

 

Describe your trip in just a few words…

Moving.  Different.  Changing.  Difficult.  It’s like an investigation, but you’re investigating yourself, and you learn new things that you never knew about yourself.  -- Caleigh

Tell us about two meaningful moments with your crew…

When we shared from our (devotional journals) we had a lot of interesting things come up, like how believing and following are two different things.  Even the demons believe that Jesus exists…  But following Jesus, that’s work.  I also like helping the poor and helping the homeless.  I felt like we really connected.  -- Jimmy

How did your leader impact your trip?

She planned the whole thing and kept it all together and got us here.  She sacrificed a lot to help us serve God.  She reflected God because she pushed away everything and had the attitude of serving God, and it made me want to do the same.  -- Avery

Summarize your trip in five words…

Worthwhile.  Changes your life too.  -- Anna

 

What characteristic of God did you see this week?

When I talked to the seniors and learned all their different personalities…  It’s really cool how God makes everyone different.  It was really cool to see what they’re like.  -- Justin

 

If this trip was a Chicago-style deep dish pizza, what would you call it?

“The pizza of a lifetime!”  -- Ryan
