During spring break, I joined 11 friends of mine who volunteered for my Trinity Church's
high school missions project and went to the Bahamas. Our mission was to scrape, paint, and refurbish the All Saints Camp while ministering to Bahamian people there who were being treated and cared for because they were infected and/or disabled with HIV/AIDS. For me, that missionary journey was meaningful. I continue to rejoice in what God has done for me.
Just a few weeks ago, I received a pleasant surprise. Christian students at a public elementary school in Redlands who call themselves "God's Kids" invited our high school missions project team to report on our Bahamian mission trip. Our church's high school pastor asked me to be the leader who'd report on what we accomplished on our mission and how our service to the Lord affected each of us.
The first of my two photos (below) shows me and my fellow team members leading God's Kids in a beautifully inspiring song. The second has me displaying a hand-made airplane sample that Bahamians had fabricated from aluminum can scrap. Along with our report, display, and song, we lead the kids in worship.
All in all, God first used our team to encourage the people at the Bahamian AIDs camp, then allowed those beautiful people to witness their blessings to God's Kids here in the states. Wow!
Continually rejoicing in what God has done for me,


Wearing their black Bahamas Mission T-shirts, the high schoolers encouraged God's Kids
to raise their hands as everyone sang "Lord I Lift Your Name on High."
Lord, I lift Your name on High
Lord, I love to sing Your praises
I'm so glad You're in my life
I'm so glad You came to save us
Chorus:
You came from heaven to earth to show the way
From the earth to the cross my debt to pay
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord, I lift your name on high.
The high schoolers then personally shared with everyone the value and meaning
of their individual ministries that they provided within the AIDS camp they had visited.

Abby amazed God's Kids by pulling from her bag a hand-made airplane
that Bahamians had fabricated for her from aluminum can scrap.

Abby highlights the detail that Bahamians put
into every one of their aluminum can creations.
