Today I asked the team to sum up their thoughts about this trip in a sentence. With all that we have experienced on this trip it was a tall order to whittle our thoughts down so small, but here is our attempt:
“A rewarding collision of joy and pain.” • Brenda Debor
“As hope arises darkness hides.” • Lauren Debor
“Amidst the darkness the light shines forth like the dawn.” • Jaclyn Miles
“There is hope for oppressed.” • Sue Ephraim
“I go because I am being obedient to Gods commands. To be a light in darkness, to be hope in despair and to share the knowledge of the glory of God!” • Melissa Crowder
“I truly felt God among the laughter and joy.” • Patricia Simpson
“I am overwhelmed by the open arms of laughter love and hope.” • Sterling Greene
“Jesus is here and He is revealing Himself through the smiles of His believers.” • Rachael Soroski
“God’s light can shine in the darkest of places.” • Jan Moore
“I came to be a blessing but I’ve been blessed.” • Cheryl Rothell
“My heart aches to see those who have not yet seen rescue but when I meet those that have I see God’s power to do the impossible.” • Kay Smith
Tomorrow is our final morning of work at New Hope. Then we head home. My heart aches to stay but also is ready for the home I love so dearly.
