MVC Students

Throughout the trip our students will have opportunities to share what they are learning on the blog. It is interesting to watch the dynamics of the group when you begin with an extended period of travel. Here are the girls first observations.

We have learned a lot about each other. During this fun, yet long trip we have learned that Lindsey talks in her sleep, Will sounds like a bulldog, Mason breathes hard in his sleep, Megan can come up with the best nicknames (for anyone) Maddie is very gullible and is a loud whisperer, Sophie has had 57 bracelets that she has never taken off in two years and Abbie…. She is just the life of the party. Ps Abbie’s name is ahboob, Moses is a very loud basketball player, Myka is very patient when teenager girls wanna keep the light on at 11:24 PM, and Jared hates the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

In the hectic final hours of preparation for the trip I was not able to fix the comments for the blog. I’m not sure what’s wrong, however we would still like to hear your prayers and encouragement for the team.

As you read the blog or feel led please email jared (at) mvcglenwood (dot) org and we will share everything we get with the team each evening.

Thank you for your prayers and support!

*update: Comments work now so comment away!

We have gathered and trained together for many months now. Tomorrow we will leave MVC and head to Denver where we will stay overnight then fly out early on Saturday morning.

Throughout the trip students will be sharing their experiences and thoughts on the blog so make sure you check back regularly.  Personally, I have enjoyed getting to know each of them better and see the gifts God has given them.  We have read, prayed, discussed, and dreamt about this time and now it is here.  I know God has us going to New Jersey for a reason and am excited to see what He does through us as we serve him by loving others.

This blog is a way for us to communicate with our friends, family, and those who are supporting in prayer.  The great thing about blogs is they are a two way street.  When we leave a post you are free to comment and leave your thoughts.  I encourage you to leave thoughts, prayers, and encouragement for the team which we will communicate to them each evening in our family time together.  And you can start right now!  When you finish reading this post a prayer you have for a team member or the team a whole.  Then, after dinner tomorrow night we will share those prayers with them.

Thank you for supporting us and we look forward to sharing our experiences with you throughout the journey.
