Just a quick blurb here-
We're working as a youth group to raise support to go to St. Kitts this summer.
In case you're wondering... I hate fundraising. BUT- with three of our five member household going on this trip, it's necessary.
I've  never been on a mission trip before, and I am beyond excited about this  opportunity. I've previously mentioned our best friends moving down to  the island to start a church--- it was really really sad for us to watch  them leave, it was a major role change in Jordan's job, etc. etc. etc.-  Now, we're getting a chance to go down and be a part of what God is  doing in St. Kitts. They've already gotten plugged into SO many things-  coaching a basketball team, serving at a Boys Club, leading a Bible  study. We'll be helping with these things, running a vacation bible  school, beach clean-up, whatever other needs arise between now and then.  I can't wait to be down there with our dear friends, to see life as  their experiencing, and to serve the people that are now part of their  home, their lives.
To read more about what Brandon and Wendi are doing in St. Kitts and what we'll be a part of this July, check out their blog here.

Most  importantly, please be praying for our trip. We're taking an incredible  group of kids down to serve alongside incredible people. We want to be  used to spread the love of Jesus to the Kittitians and to bless and  encourage Brandon and Wendi and their growing family. We covet your  prayers for our time now as we work and serve as a group to prepare to  go their to work and serve the locals!
Thanks, friends!! :)
