Today I opened up a package and inside was a t-shirt which read, “Impact The Nations.” The bright yellow letters were jumping off of the t-shirt as I thought about our students and their impact on the world around them. In addition to all the great activities our students are involved in which touch the lives of others, the past two years we have had high school students go to Guatemala for their mission trip. Our high school students have carried the good news of Jesus Christ to the children in Guatemala as directed in Matthew 28:19, “Go ye therefore and teach all nations.” They worked together to improve soccer fields. They brought in 12 truck-loads of dirt, raked out nails, bits of broken glass, and pieces of bone. The students worked together to teach songs to children, played games like Pato, Pato, Gonza (duck, duck, goose), and gave out a lot of hugs. When it was over, the students brought back stories and pictures of the sweet neighborhood children with bright eyes and beautiful smiles. As Spring Break approaches and many of us are thinking about going away on vacation, please join me in praying for our mission team as they return to minister in Guatemala with team leaders Charissa and Bob Karr. If you are interested in learning more about the trip, or helping to support our high school missionaries, you may email LCS middle school teacher and team leader, Mrs. Karr.
